Victor Valdes: South America on a Harp
Sunday 6 July from 6pm to 6:30pm
“The brilliant singing of Valdes, who plays the harp equally well, made the heart pump that little bit faster.” – John Shand, Sydney Morning Herald
House to Grow invites you to join us at our Hidden Stories: Faces of our Community initiative. A multicultural photography exhibition where we celebrate diversity, art, and culture. We will feature Victor Valdés, one of Australia's leading world music artists. This virtuoso Mexican harpist, singer, and dancer has redefined the harp as a solo and lead instrument.
Victor Valdes is a walking encyclopaedia of Latin music past and present. His powerful, compelling voice and passion for storytelling takes audiences on a sonorous journey through the many emotions of Mexico & the Latin American musical landscape. He has given concerts in over 25 countries of 4 continents around the world.
He’s shared the stage with everyone from Angus & Julia Stone, Aloe Blacc, to Los Lobos, Mirusia, Jimmy Barnes, and The Wiggles. Valdes has appeared on folk, world music, rock, and blues festival stages Australia-wide and was named Director’s Choice at Bluesfest.
Victor Valdes is a truly extraordinary performer and presents an opportunity to experience him in this amazing multicultural event, as he plays all the Mexican and South American favourites.
Hosted at the historic Harold Park Community Hall (Tramsheds) with free parking.
