Description
Alejandra Ortiz and Luis Maurette, aka Lulacruza, are an experimental folk duo from Columbia and Argentina. At the junction of the hypermodern and the ancient, Lulacruza weaves together female vocals, South American instruments, found sound objects, field recordings, and electronic manipulation. The result is electronic-folk music unfolding with nymph-like vocals, aquatic textures, and up-tempo, handcrafted South American rhythms.Alejandra Ortiz: voice, cuatro, shruti box, tar and kalimba
Luis Maurette: percussion, charango, Amazonian flutes, electronic processing and sequencing
Alejandra and Luis were Artists in Residence at the Red Poppy Art House last year. They have received grants from the Zellerbach Family Foundation and from the William & Flora Hewlett Foundation.
