Diana Burco

PROOF OF VACCINATION OR NEGATIVE TEST REQUIRED FOR ENTRANCE

We are in the process of loosening our COVID guidelines.  @708 is requiring the same COVID restrictions that have been in place for a while now.

This show requires either a proof of vaccination completed at least 14 days prior to the event or a negative COVID test administered by a health care professional within 72 hours of the event. Originals or photos of documents with a matching ID will be accepted. Masks are also required for public events in @708.

Thanks for your cooperation and understanding.

AMP Residencies provide artists an opportunity to perform several shows in New Mexico, visit schools, do workshops and get to know our beautiful state and people. These are great opportunities for the groups and for all of us! Diana will be here for a few days, performing in both Albuquerque and Santa Fe, as well as doing some community projects. 

The presentation is part of Center Stage, a public diplomacy initiative of the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, administered by the New England Foundation for the Arts in cooperation with the U.S. Regional Arts Organizations, with support from the Doris Duke Foundation for Islamic Art, and the Trust for Mutual Understanding. General management is provided by Lisa Booth Management, Inc.

Tickets cost $17 in advance, $22 day of show (including all service charges). They are also available by phone through Hold My Ticket at 505-886-1251.

@708 is an intimate 150-capacity room that is part of the new Fusion Forum space.  It will contain several theater spaces, a coffee shop/restaurant, and office spaces. Fusion Forum promises to be an exciting new arts destination on the edge of downtown Albuquerque!  This is a general admission seated show.  There will be coffee, tea, soft drinks and snacks available for purchase.

A charismatic rising star of the explosive and multi-dimensional Colombian music scene, Diana Burco is a singer-songwriter and accomplished accordion player. She is also a two time Latin Grammy nominee, most recently in 2021 for Rio Abajo as Best Contemporary Tropical album. Her LP debut Diana Burco, was nominated in 2018 as best album vallenato/cumbia, the first ever female nominee for what is considered the most important indigenous music of Colombia.

When the global pandemic cancelled a summer 2020 tour to the European Union and Africa, "we just kept going. I had recorded a new album before the crisis and we're moving forward, changing up our strategy, focusing on digital outreach, staying in touch."

"We are living in confusing times, in a stunning era, and it seems that the only way to be saved is if we remain together. I want the listener to enter the ocean by my hand, with all of our pains and fears. To go into the deepest part, perhaps to get lost, and come back safe and sound together."
