The Lynda Fairly Carpinteria Arts Center invites the community to experience LADAMA, an internationally acclaimed ensemble of women musicians from across the Americas, 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 5.

Part of the ¡Viva el Arte de Santa Barbara! performing arts series, the free show will be at the Carpinteria Arts Center, 865 Linden Ave.

LADAMA brings together musical traditions from Brazil, Colombia and Venezuela with contemporary influences to create a vibrant, genre-crossing sound, organizers said.

“Blending traditional instruments, infectious rhythms, and original songs performed in Spanish, Portuguese and English, the ensemble offers audiences a dynamic celebration of music and cultural connection,” they said.

¡Viva el Arte de Santa Barbara! is a collaborative community arts initiative that brings free, family-friendly performances celebrating Latin American music, dance and cultural heritage to communities throughout Santa Barbara County.

The series is presented through a partnership that includes UC Santa Barbara Arts & Lectures, the Carpinteria Arts Center, Marjorie Luke Theatre, Isla Vista Elementary School, and Guadalupe Visual & Performing Arts Center.

Doors open at 6:30 p.m., and a reception with the artists will follow the performance
