Blu Internacional – Musical Duo
In 1992, Patricia Gras (USA/Argentina) and María Rimbau (Spain, Ecuador) founded Barandúa, a Latin folk and pop ban, with Carlos Gonzalez Rimbau, María’s brother, Luis Silva and Antonio Mazu both from Chile. Together they produced two CD’s, Barandúa Live and Our Songs. Later, Carlitos Gonzalez Blum (US/Spain) and Luis Montes de Oca (Méjico) replaced Luis and Antonio. In 2009, both María and Patricia were struck with breast cancer. To raise money for breast cancer survivors, the Barandúa band held a concert at the University of St. Thomas, Jones Hall to a full house. Following María’s treatment, they decided to become a duo, this time playing international music with the collaboration of sound engineer Mariela Massuh. They sing in Spanish, English, French, Italian, Russian, Arabic, and Portuguese. Blu International music duo performs at parties, weddings, concerts, and on ZOOM under quarantine!

Domesticated by early farmers around 9000 years ago, it has evolved into tasty, tender corn that was carried on to other parts of the Americas. By the time of the European colonization, corn was a major food source through many parts of the region and it was then adopted by the world as part of a universal diet. A gift from the Americas to the world, we will cover the history, the impact, and the many ways this plant has made its way along the centuries.
Cultivado por más de 9000 años el maíz ha evolucionado su sabor y textura, siendo usado en muchas partes de América.

Aquí cubriremos su historia, impacto e interpretación durante todos estos años.
