Gabriela Ortiz’ Pan-American Playlist
A playlist by the guest curator of our new Pan-American Music Initiative (PAMI)
The five-year LA Phil initiative was created by Gustavo Dudamel to highlight the diversity and creativity of the Americas today. In conversation with Dudamel about her curatorial point-of-view, Ortiz shared her desire to break down stereotypes and transcend sonic borders. She’s put together a PAMI playlist that begins with the classic composers of her native Mexico, moves to the contemporary, and then broadens out to include work from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Peru, and Colombia.
