In celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, Adelphi’s Robert B. Willumstad School of Business, in partnership with the University’s Latin American and Latinx Studies Program, will host the Lulada Club for a special performance on Sept. 27.
The event, “The Business of Making Music: An event in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month,” will be held at 12 p.m. at Adelphi’s Performing Arts Center.
The Lulada Club is an all female salsa orchestra doing creative, transformational and impactful work in the world of salsa music. As a collective, the 9-member band is a representation of women from across Latin America and the United States working to address the void of female ensembles in the industry.
The Lulada Club interprets the classics through their own perspective and creates moving and memorable original music that can be heard live across venues such as NYC’s Summer Stage and Lincoln Center.
Beginning with a panel of musicians and industry experts that culminates into a performance by the Lulada Club, this event promises to be an afternoon of vibrant music, exciting energy and inspirational stories from individuals who make, distribute and promote music.
Panelists will include Andrea Chavarro (Lulada band leader), Linda EPO, Latin-infused Funk and R&B music performer (Adelphi Class of 2009), and Jose Jose Paredes, founder of Chota Madre, an Afro-Ecuadorian Bomba band.
“We are delighted to host this exciting event in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month that brings together business and the arts,” said MaryAnn Hyland, dean of Adelphi’s Robert B. Willumstad School of Business. “We look forward to an engaging panel discussion and an entertaining musical performance. “
This event is free and open to the public and sponsored by a grant from the Women’s Giving Circle, donations from the Long Island Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, along with funding from Adelphi University’s College of Arts and Sciences, Department of Music, Latin American and Latinx Studies Program, Robert B. Willumstad School of Business, Diversity, Equality, Inclusion, and Belonging Mentoring Program, and the Hispanic Serving Institution Task Force.
