The Rail Yard Notes: Da Terra Meiga

Da Terra Meiga

Laura Cruz and Ruben Ares with Da Terra Meiga bring together two distinctly beautiful voices over a single guitar. Delivered straight from the heart of Spain, the group has been touring and entertaining fans with authentic Spanish tunes mixed with a hint of rock. Ruben uses a difficult technique known as Rasgueado, where multiple strums flicker within a single rhythmic roll to create the feeling of multiple guitars being played at the same time. Laura Cruz sports a sweet yet soulful voice that hovers over Ruben like a storm. Powerful at times, gentle at others, she uses vibrato sparingly to put forth emotion in its rawest form. The duo will be performing at the opening day of the Rail Yards Market in Albuquerque on May the 3rd, so mark your calendars, you won’t want to miss this!
