We were blown away by the quality of this video, and how skillfully the crew captured the essence of what we are trying to do with this project.
A sample of our show...
Building community through music, culture, and food.
Cornbread & Tortillas is a collective of Appalachian and Latino artists based in Kentucky whose mission is to build community by sharing art, music, dance, and cultural heritage. Through outreach events, educational shows, workshops, and performances we celebrate our similarities and differences to create unity in a diverse world.
The centerpiece of our work together is the CORNBREAD & TORTILLAS theatrical show, a dynamic bilingual production that features stories, music, and dancing. Audiences will journey from the Appalachian region of Eastern Kentucky to Mexico, Nicaragua, Ecuador, and beyond, exploring connections and celebrating our shared human experience all the while!
