In homage to National Hispanic Heritage month, Skidmore is hosting a series of events that will kick off with this duo from El Paso, Texas performing free for the wider community at Caffè Lena. Los Liminals draw on a mix of history, music, and spoken-word poetry, exploring the liminal space of the

border and its residents over time. They recreate the past using the voices of those who lived it; conjuring perspectives as diverse as legendary mystic Teresa Urrea, ancient footsteps in the White Sands of New Mexico, and the daughter of Pancho Villa’s bandleader. The duo is made up of acclaimed El Paso historian and musician David Dorado Romo and vocalist/poet Adriana Lopez. Their music is meant to inspire audiences to learn about El Paso history – and draw their own meaning from it. Lopez explains: “If we can make music that creates curiosity, more than anything, from anyone, to try to go on their own journey … that’s really where all these ideas came from.” Their music resonates with people who appreciate artistic integrity, musical exploration, and a genuine connection with the audience. Presented in partnership with Skidmore College Department of Latin American, Caribbean & Latinx Studies.
