Appalachian Roots Music Meets Latin Folk Traditions

Appalatin’s foot-stomping, hip-swinging sound unites Appalachian folk and high-energy Latin music. The name, Appalatin, reflects the unexpected meeting of Kentucky-raised musicians and masterful Central American and Andean émigrés from Ecuador, Guatemala and Nicaragua. Their all-acoustic performances feature traditional guitar, mandolin and upright bass merged with charango, indigenous Andean flutes, hand percussion, harmonica and vocal harmonies, bringing pure joy to listeners of all ages.

Immediately after the performance, Chuck Dicken, station director of FSU’s National Public Radio affiliate station WFWM-FM, joins the artists for a lively conversation with audience members. Learn more about Appalatin’s distinctive fusion of Appalachian, Central American and Andean folk genres.

Adult $15
