Songs of Identity — Gabriela Bernal Brings Mexican Music & Latin Folk to SMA
Few artists carry the breadth and depth that Gabriela Bernal brings to the stage. Since 2010, this Mexican singer-songwriter, cultural producer and performer has built a multifaceted career spanning folk, jazz and traditional Mexican music, ultimately defining her own style as “canción de identidad” — songs that seek to bridge the personal and the collective, the individual story and the shared cultural memory. With five albums, seven singles, a book of poems in décimas, and performances at prestigious festivals across Mexico, Colombia, Chile, Argentina and Chicago, she is one of the most compelling voices in contemporary Latin American music today.
Teatro Santa Ana at San Miguel de Allende’s Biblioteca Pública hosts this special evening on Friday, April 17th at 6:00 p.m. — a concert that promises to be as rooted and warm as it is musically alive. Tickets are a $330 peso donation to La Biblioteca Pública, available at labibliotecapublica.org. La Biblioteca would love to see you there.

Venue
Teatro Santa Ana, located within the Biblioteca Pública at Insurgentes 25 in downtown San Miguel de Allende, is an intimate cultural venue with a rich and layered history. The building dates back to the mid-1700s, originally serving as a home for women and girls before becoming the city’s municipal slaughterhouse and, in 1958, a center for community learning. The theater itself was inaugurated in 1998, quickly becoming a beloved space for drama, music, dance, film, and special events. With its modern amenities and warm atmosphere, Teatro Santa Ana continues to foster artistic creativity and community engagement in the heart of the city.
