ABOUT Liliana Herrera
La Indómita de marzo es la cantautora chicana Liliana Herrera, originaria de la frontera de California. Liliana es reconocida como una trabajadora cultural enfocada principalmente en la música. Construye un puente entre su pasión por las artes y su compromiso con la justicia social, desempeñando roles tanto como intérprete como defensora de la justicia lingüística.
Liliana resalta sus raíces biculturales a través de composiciones originales y tradicionales. Sus eclécticos estilos musicales abarcan boleros, soul, salsa, cumbia, electrónica, rancheras, blues, jazz, ópera, y más, celebrando las valiosas contribuciones de nuestras comunidades nativas y aquellas más marginadas.
Antes de la pandemia, Liliana fue beneficiaria de una beca del Fondo Nacional de las Artes. En ese período, compuso, interpretó y fungió como directora artística de "Golondrina: Andanzas por California", una narración musical que abarca la historia de California desde la época pre-colonial, destacando la inspiradora resistencia nativa y compartiendo anécdotas familiares de la narrativa errante de la Golondrina migratoria. Esta obra será nuevamente presentada en el Teatro Brava en mayo de este año.
ENGLISH
March’s Indómita is a daughter of California’s borderlands, Chicana singer/songwriter Liliana Herrera, originally from the California border, stands out as a cultural worker whose primary focus is music. Liliana builds a bridge between her fervor for the arts and her commitment to social justice, playing roles as both a performer and an advocate for linguistic justice.
Liliana highlights her bicultural roots through original and traditional compositions. Her eclectic musical styles span boleros, soul, salsa, cumbia, electronica, rancheras, blues, jazz, opera, and more, celebrating the valuable contributions of our native and most marginalized communities.
Before the pandemic, Liliana was the recipient of a scholarship from the National Endowment for the Arts. During that period, Liliana composed, performed, and served as artistic director of “Golondrina: Andanzas por California,” a musical storytelling of California history tracing back to precolonial times, inspiring native resistance, and familial anecdotes from the wandering narrative of the migrating Swallow, la Golondrina – to be reprised at Brava Theater in May.
ABOUT INDÓMITAS
Indómitas is a live podcast series hosted by Chelis López of KPOO and Radio Bilingüe, featuring interviews with fierce women artists and activists
Each month in Brava’s Cabaret, Indómitas will interview female singers, writers, poets, activists, artists, journalists, filmmakers, and others – some well-known and some deserving to be – for live broadcast. These 60-minute conversations will cover the women’s stories of achievement, pitfalls, and hopes for their futures.
Be ready for open and honest conversations, where intimacy fosters the sharing of joy, fear, acceptance, and ultimately, the strength of women. It’s our time to be the ones who narrate our stories of who we are, what we do, what matters to us and how we organized and stand up for our rights.
Indómitas Podcast Series will be available through Chelis López’ website, and other platforms.
