BLAVITY: Music Represents The Harmony I Hope Our Divisive World One Day Will Embrace

“A culture of unity and individual strength are two beautiful effects of music and the arts. Each individual involved in creating music is integral to the art’s energy, that is then transmitted to anyone that engages with the piece.

I consider it a gift to make music with others. For 14 years, I have been a student at Los Cenzontles Cultural Arts Academy, where I have engaged with different forms of traditional folk art, from various regions of Mexico. As a shy seven-year-old, I started with my favorite instrument: my zapateado shoes — learning the rhythms of Son Jalisciense and Son Jarocho through dance.”
