Roomful of Teeth

GRAMMY Award-winning vocal ensemble Roomful of Teeth is thrilled to return to MASS MoCA to create a new concert-length work with Puerto Rican-born composer Angélica Negrón and Brooklyn-based indie electronic transnational band Balún. The Puerto Rico Experiment is a new song cycle built from a series of sonic vignettes for voices surrounded by a mosaic of acoustic and electronic textures. Drawing on the expressive possibilities of the human voice, reimagined Caribbean folk traditions, and layered electronic textures, the work creates a unique sound world that moves between history, memory, and a speculative future.
