The Lua Project blends multiple music styles from different continents and centuries into one cohesive sound. Deeming themselves “cultural pollinators,” the band sings about contemporary themes of family, work, and loss, while drawing on elements of Son Mexicano, Appalachian song forms, Jewish and Eastern European tonalities, baroque melodies, and Scotch-Irish narrative storytelling. The performance accompanies the closing of Michael O. Snyder’s exhibition, “The Mountain Traditions Project,” a collection of photographs and oral histories from the Appalachian region.
