Perla Batalla in the House of Cohen
About the Show
Grammy-nominated Perla Batalla will share a cross-cultural homage to her colleague Leonard Cohen, who encouraged the launch of her solo career.
The LA Times wrote, “Batalla is…musically adventurous and always accompanied by impeccable performers….above all, she is a born storyteller with a rambunctious sense of humor.”
Batalla’s mission of honoring her roots and exposing young audiences to the beauty of music and the Spanish language is ongoing in her outreach endeavors throughout some of the poorest communities in the United States. She is the recipient of the United Nation’s Earth Charter Award for “extraordinary devotion to social and economic justice” and the Premio Fronterizo Award for “healing work in the world.”
