Claudia Valentina & Arturo Brena, Kéex
Equal parts singer, dancer and jaranera, Claudia Valentina epitomizes the mélange parfait of modern New York as a California-born, New York-raised daughter of Mexican and Jamaican immigrants. As a singer, Claudia has toured internationally to China, to perform at the Shanghai Expo as one of the soloists for the United Nations Singers. As a musician and dancer, she has recorded and toured the US and Mexico, as lead singer, playing the jarana (a string instrument from Veracruz) and doing traditional percussive dance on a tarima (wooden box) with the Afromexican NY-based Jarana Beat, winners of the 2015 Mexican Music Award for Best Contemporary Folk Band. Together with Arturo Brena, she formed Kéex - a Mayan word which means to arouse, provoke or stimulate. Their music does just that by telling stories of cultural adaptation from Mexico to the US, through song, dance, and dialogue. They were our first musical guests in fall 2018, and we were thrilled to have them return this past November.
