Singer/songwriter Myra Flynn spends her career embracing dichotomy. Half Irish and half African American, her original indie/soul songs blend soulful vocals with a lyrical delivery that doesn’t let one get too comfortable. As the New England Deli Magazine puts it, “Her vocal influences have as much in common with Ani Difranco and Shawn Colvin as they do with Rihanna and Jill Scott.”
HopStop Family Show – Dia De Los Muertos Celebration
Saturday, October 26, 2024 @ 2:00 — 3:00 PM Claremont Savings Bank Community Center 152 South Street, Claremont NH
Day of the Dead is a holiday celebrated by many people of Mexican heritage. People make shrines to honor the deceased relatives featuring the person’s favorite food and drink, and gifts. This holiday is a joyful celebration which pays respect and honors deceased relatives.
Mirna P. Lopez Acosta ’27 and Javier E. Lopez Jr. ’27, who are members of the Dartmouth Mexican Student Association (MexSA), will guide participants to create tissue paper flowers as ofrenda or offerings for our shrine. Ofrenda commemorate and celebrate the lives of deceased relatives.
Another member of MexSA, Cesar Almeida Jr. ’27, will help us celebrate the holiday with a traditional mariachi performance. Learn to clap, stomp, sing and dance to traditional Mexican mariachi music.
