Featuring: Appalatin’s foot-stomping, hip-swinging sounds organically unite Appalachian folk and high-energy Latin music.

Their all-acoustic performances of traditional stings of guitar, mandolin, upright bass, and charango, indigenous Andean flutes, hand percussion, harmonica and vocal harmonies bring joy and happiness to listeners of all ages.
