Gringa-Grooves from the Heart
Colleen Kattau and Dos XX
Socially conscious modern folk with a Latin flair.
Kattau is a bi-lingual singer/songwriter whose music joins rhythms of Latin America with her own roots in rock and folky jazz-laced compositions. Her innovative poetic lyrics cover a wide and varied range from soulful sensual songs to rise-up-and-change-the-world anthems.
Dos XX formed in 2012 with Kattau on vocals, rhythm guitar & ukelele; Jane Zell on lead guitar and vocals; Connie Walters on percussion and vocals; and Mike Brandt on electric bass. They call themselves "a Latin-fem-folk fusion of bilingual originals and songs in Spanish, French and even a little Arabic." Dos XX blends Zell’s bluesy flair with Kattau’s and Walters’s passion for world music rhythms and vocal stylings to create music that leaps out of the ordinary and gets audiences moving.
Colleen Kattau & Dos XX were very excited to be invited by the HOmer Arts Center to open for Los Lobos and also the Devon Allman/Duane Betts Bands performances. They have played the Grassroots Music Festival, the Westcott Street Cultural Fair, the New York State Fair Pan African Village as well as environmental rallies and gatherings, regional clubs and coffee houses and private parties. Colleen performs internationally and is recently returned from a solo tour in Italy. Contact Colleen Kattau here for more information about booking.
