The concert is co-sponsored by St. Peter’s Church, Weston. Admission is a $15 suggested donation. All proceeds from the concert will benefit the United Nations’ Millennium Development Goals.

About Sol y Canto
Puerto Rican/Argentine singer and bongo player Rosi Amador and New Mexican guitarist and composer Brian Amador have been lucky enough to spend more than two decades composing, arranging and performing music that moves people inside and out; songs that combine poetic lyrics, commitment to social change, and sabor, the “tastiness” of music that draws you into its story or makes you want to get up and dance. Singing of a longing for peace or of taking care of our planet, telling the story of a solitary kiss or the sadness of losing a loved one, celebrating the Mexican “Night of the Dead” - has put them in touch with people who share their concerns and joy in celebrating Latin culture and what they offer: a personal, idiosyncratic language of music and lyrics revealing a common, human language.

Sol y Canto is their three-time Boston Music Award winning Pan-Latin ensemble and the culmination of their musical vision. The group has established a reputation for its quirky original compositions that address matters of the heart as well as social and global aspirations, and its unique and driving interpretations of contemporary Latin favorites. Since 1994, Sol y Canto has brought audiences to their feet from the Kennedy Center, the White House, and Boston’s Symphony Hall to the California World Music Festival, Puerto Rico’s Museo de Arte and the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
