The MetLife Foundation Music of the Americas Concert Series, recipient of the 2014 CMA/ASCAP Award for Adventurous Programming, fulfills an essential part of the cultural mission of Americas Society, annually showcasing dozens of talented artists hailing from across the hemisphere. Presented year-round, the concerts include a wealth of diverse music and performers, ranging from contemporary classi

cal to folk-roots to reggae and jazz. The primary venue for the series is Americas Society’s own Salon Simón Bolivar, an expansive room in the organization’s neo-federal-style headquarters with wide windows, a 15-foot ceiling, and silk fabric walls. Music of the Americas has collaborated with other presenters, including Lincoln Center Out of Doors and the National Museum of the American Indian, and has also presented artists at such prestigious venues as Carnegie Hall’s Weill Hall and the Leonard Nimoy Thalia at Symphony Space. Music of the Americas seeks to further Americas Society’s mission by engaging artists and concertgoers alike in meaningful dialogue through a shared love of excellent music. The series aims to present artists that are both superb musicians in their own right and cultural ambassadors of myriad social and musical traditions, creating a vibrant space and a unique opportunity to hear distinctive and significant music.

Today on En Casa 🇨🇴 María Vanedi is a singer-songwriter from Huila, in southwestern Colombia, who fuses the rich musical traditions of the Magdalena River with genres such as soul, rock, and R&B.

Today on En Casa 🌦️ From Buenos Aires, Adam Tully and Lucas Peverelli sent us "Vidalita de la lluvia," a piece by Tully based on one of Argentina's oldest folkloric forms (the vidalita), both simple and full of colors. At times, it may evoke a rainstorm that inspired it and, at others, a lullaby.

🎶 Adam Tully is a composer and guitarist born in New York and based in Buenos Aires. Among his recent works are Cuartetos Guitarreros, eight pieces which mix the tango idiom with contemporary and personal musical language, and which were recorded with 12 other guitarists for an album released by Tango de Hoy. The Dúo Tully-Peverelli formed to play Tully's music for two guitars, and they have performed at the Guitarras del Mundo Festival (in different provinces of Argentina) and in various venues in Buenos Aires. As of 2025 they are recording a new album.

💚 Many thanks to our 2025–2026 supporters MetLife Foundation, Howard Gilman Foundation New York City Department of Cultural Affairs New York State Council on the Arts, and the Fan Fox and Leslie R. Samuels Foundation.
