Performance | King Coya & Queen Cholas | TEDxJoven@RíodelaPlata

Folklore for the dance floor. As in most native cultures, music and dance form a unified whole for us. With this in mind, King Coya + Queen Cholas offer Latin American celebrations and rituals in an electronic format. This concept unites renowned musician, composer, and producer Gaby Kerpel (De La Guarda, Fuerza Bruta) with the dance and experimental group formed by Laura Friedman, Iara Nardi, and Martina Kogan: the “Queen Cholas.” This phenomenon, which integrates indigenous South American music with danceable electronica, creates a show that takes on immersive ritualistic dimensions, inviting the audience to become part of a colorful and fantastical experience. Evoking ancestral expressions through a fusion of movements and sounds from the contemporary scene. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
