Our Rhythms, Our Voices w/ Javier Jara and Austin Unconducted

The stories of immigrant families aren’t often told with nuance or care for their cultures. Ecuadorian singer-songwriter Javier Jara stretched the scope of what his artistry can do and in 2022, he and his team interviewed immigrants from Latin America and created songs using their stories and the traditional sounds of their home countries. With the grandeur of 18-piece string orchestra Austin Unconducted, Jara brings these stories to four stages across Texas and an album that will debut later this year. – Cy White
