MICHA MÚSICA IN TRANSIT

Thursday, March 19 at 8:00PM

Access to this stream will be FREE and available to all on YouTube

This year, MICHA has been playing her nylon-string guitar that her abuelo gave to her father, inhaling new rhythms, learning favorite boleros and rancheras, and writing new tunes. In this intimate concert, she is mining deep into Latin American rhythms, memory and language. Joining her are Miriam Elhajli (guitar, vocals) and Reza Salazar (percussion).

MICHA is the project of vocalist, songwriter, musical theater composer and actor Michelle J. Rodriguez. With a voice that is "clear and compelling" and a sound that features "flourishes of bolero, bossa nova and even jazz" (Chicago Tribune), MICHA has captivated audiences at Joe's Pub (NYC), the Hideout (Chicago), and Steppenwolf (Chicago) with her stunning vulnerability onstage. MICHA was a finalist for NPR's 2018 Tiny Desk Contest with her song "Nena Nena Nena".

Part of the Mobile Unit and Joe's Pub's collaborative series, In Transit, MICHA Música toured to NYC Park sites, correctional facilities, and community venues, ending with a show at Joe's Pub.

Recorded live at Joe's Pub on February 28, 2020

Migguel Anggelo: LATINXOXO

Saturday, March 21 at 8:00PM

Access to this stream will be FREE and available to all on YouTube

Migguel Anggelo is back at Joe's Pub shattering the boundaries of gender in a striptease of "Latin Lover" clichés perpetuated by his family's expectations. In an outrageously queer concert experience, Migguel moves through iconic pop hits, original compositions, and the Spanish boleros of his youth, reminding us that our greatest love is right there in the mirror.

With musical direction by Jaime Lozano and a new book by J. Julian Christopher, LatinXoxo is conceived by Migguel Anggelo and directed and developed by Sr?'a Vasiljević.

Abrazos y besos! Xoxo

Arrangements: Jaime Lozano
Costumes: Ryan Park
Piano and Guitar: Jaime Lozano
