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.
Dos XX has performed at Grassroots Music Festival, The Westcott Cultural Fair, the Pan African Stage at the NYS Fair and at clubs, coffee houses, and private parties. Contact Colleen Kattau at http://colleenkattau.com/ through the web site for more information about booking.
