Intercultural music experience in Ballina
With a taste for theatrics and improvisation, Los Hostes offer a mesmerising show.
Los Hostes bring their unique blend of funk, jigs, ragas, reels, and alpine harmonies to Ballina Arts Centre on Wednesday, February 11th.
This show involves the audience in intimate comraderie of inter-cultural, genre-hopping, folk, and original music.
With a taste for theatrics and improvisation, Los Hostes move between soft, lyrical songs and heart-lifting dance tunes, taking the listener from the coasts of Ireland, across the high Alps to the Balkan peninsula.
