About this Event
Alisa Amador with special guest Andrea Cruz in a backyard concert to benefit the Punto Art Museum (a project of the North Shore Community Development Coalition)
“Shawn Colvin meets Joni Mitchell has lunch with Amy Winehouse meets Suzanne Vega add Diana Krall in a quiet unassuming never loud package even singing in Spanish and French.”
— Vance Gilbert

Alisa Amador’s music is a synthesis of the many styles she’s voraciously absorbed: rock, jazz, funk and alternative folk, all wrapped in the spirit of the Latin music she grew up with. NPR's Cyrena Touros calls her “a pitch-perfect rendition of my wildest dreams.” Alisa's soulful singing, poetically incisive lyrics, and syncopated rhythms are likely to make you cry, laugh, and dance all within one set. Alisa released her debut EP, Narratives, in 2021. https://alisaamador.com/

Within the Puerto Rican music world, Andrea Cruz is a throwback: She constructs her softly flowing folk songs around acoustic instrumentation and lyrics that reflect on humanity's connection to the natural world. On 2017's Tejido de Laurel and the singles that have trickled out since, Cruz's sound leans hard into a kind of rustic lustrousness, enriched by arrangements that exude both subtlety and sparkle. https://www.andreacruzmusica.com/

Located in "El Punto" neighborhood in Salem, MA, it features over 75 large scale murals by 30 world renowned artists and 25 local artists within a 3 block radius.
The Punto Urban Art Museum has two primary goals:
1 – To create a beautiful, uplifting environment for Point residents, particularly for children to grow up in.
2 –To break down the invisible divide between the Point Neighborhood and the rest of Salem by inviting visitors into the Point to experience world-class art first-hand.
By creating a walkable, curated open air museum within three neighborhood blocks, the district is readily accessible to all that downtown Salem already has to offer to over a million tourists per year.
Bringing a fraction of Salem’s visitors to the Point neighborhood stands to be a transformative economic development boom to immigrant-owned local businesses.
