Valparaiso
When she lays down South American grooves on guitar, audiences are hard-pressed to tell that Emily Pinkerton is a native of the Midwest. Born and raised in Valparaiso, Indiana, her musical education carried her to Valparaíso, Chile, inspiring a decade of immersion in Latin American music. "Valparaiso" weaves these two worlds together in a vibrant, transcontinental tapestry. Haunting vocals in Spanish and English soar above pulsating rhythms of Andean guitar and old-time banjo.
