Transmutation Songs will include original compositions by Camila Meza as well as songs from different eras and countries in Latin America from artists such as Milton Nascimento, Violeta Parra, Jorge Drexler, Victor Jara, Gabriela Mistral, and more, that reflect its long history of overcoming struggle and constant spirit to create hope and vision. In an intimate duo setting with Aaron Goldberg (piano) and Meza (voice and guitar), the songs will allow moments of improvisation and conversation as an exploratory way to connect with each other. The purpose is to illustrate our shared humanity and shine a light on the potential we have as humans to lean toward harmony and beauty.
