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 recently performed at the Homer Center for the Arts opening for Los Lobos and on another occasion for Devon Allman and Duane Betts Bands, at Grassroots Music Festival, the Westcott Cultural Fair, the NYS Fair Pan African Stage and regionally at clubs, coffee houses, and for private parties.
