Lakewood Cultural Center Presents

Creating “Latingrass”

Tickets start at $29 at Lakewood.org/LCCPresents, 303-987-7845 or the Box Office.

The “Latingrass” duo known as Larry & Joe, features two versatile multi-instrumentalists on a mission to show that music has no borders. Experience the convergence of two distinct musical traditions at the Lakewood Cultural Center at 2 p.m. on Sunday, March 2, as a feature of the Lakewood Cultural Center Presents 25^th anniversary season.

Larry Bellorín and Joe Troop perform a fusion of Venezuelan Llanera music and Appalachian bluegrass on harp, banjo, cuatro, fiddle, guitar, maracas and whatever else they decide to throw in the van. Larry is a legend of Llanera music who hails from Monagas, Venezuela, and met Joe, a GRAMMY-nominated bluegrass artist in 2021. The rest is history - the two were destined to create Latingrass together.

Larry & Joe play “…a beautiful confluence of cultures and musical styles that create a truly new and original sound while maintaining a deep reverence for the traditions that have informed their music,” writes Ken Templeton, with Red Line Roots.

The program, presented by the duo, blends traditions from diverse backgrounds into a story about how music and social movements coalesce. Storytelling, humor, and audience participation are shared in both English and Spanish throughout the show.

Tickets for Larry & Joe can be purchased by calling 303-987-7845, at the Box Office at 470 S. Allison Parkway, or online at Lakewood.org/LCCPresents.
