Dindi

By Lisa Keating


Here we are taking Dindi out for a spin. I'm really looking forward to the evolution of this piece for us. I've just begun to sing a portion of the lyrics in the original Portuguese. Many, many thanks to my Brazilian friends Raquel and Alex for sitting with me and coaxing the rich and complex sounds of their native language out of me! Believe me, they deserve accolades! They are not my first Brazilian friends. Nor are they the first to encourage me to sing in their beautiful language, but it has taken decades for me to attempt this in public. Now, that I've dipped my toe in these foreign waters, I'm emboldened to jump in and take a deeper dive. Beinjinos, Lisa

Gratitude Concert, Friday November 11th

By
I'll be on Canyon Road with Russell Scanlon on guitar at ViVO Contemporary's Gratitude Concert. The event, hosted by the gallery as a thank you to the community is free and open to the public. We're very much looking forward to playing together in duo format tomorrow. Our set lists promise depth and variety with a little Portuguese and French mixed into the evening's repertoire. Stop by and say hello. Downbeat is at 5:30 pm. We're in the Six to Hit on the SFGA website this week, too!

Zozobra

By
So, I've been a little busy. First the Kiwanis Club of Santa Fe had 32 of these 4' Zozobras designed and molded out of fiberglass. Then I helped place them with 32 artists in 32 locations around town. It has been a blast to be a part of this epic augmentation of the annual celebration of the Burning of Zozobra! This year marks the 100th anniversary of this Santa Fe tradition which began as the highlight of a party with Los Cinco Pintores, in Will Schuster's backyard. Zozobra was "only" 6' tall at that original spectacle. Here we are 100 years later and 32 of these fine art finished little buggers are preparing to congregate at the Convention Center, with the Zozobra effigy being burned on August 30th at Fort Marcy Park. The Zozobra marionette has grown to some 50' tall and the chanting, moans, groans, and fireworks can be seen for miles! Pictured right, is the first piece finished. It was transformed by Santa Fe artist (and former professional rodeo clown)...
