Aída Cuevas in Ogden

When Aída Cuevas takes the stage in Ogden, it’s the kind of night that brings la familia together. Abuelos, parents, and niños sharing music that belongs to all of them. On Saturday, November 7, La Voz de México takes the stage at the Browning Center at Weber State University for an evening of mariachi and ranchera that spans five decades of Mexican tradition. If you grew up hearing “El Pastor” or if “La Cigarra” still makes you close your eyes and sing along, you already know Aída Cuevas. Her voice carries las alegrías, los dolores, the quiet longings that live at the heart of Mexico’s most beloved canciones. She has been singing them since she was twelve years old, when she first appeared on live radio in Mexico City. A year later, she was performing across Europe. She hasn’t stopped since.
