Birthed in East Harlem, the women of Soles arrived with a single, transparent question: how do they find truth, connection, and storytelling through the rhythms of their respective cultures? Based in the rhythms of Tap (Amanda Castro), Flamenco (Arielle Rosales) and Kathak (Brinda Guha), their mission created the fire that is Soles of Duende. They devote their work together to yield nothing but joy and music, and to bring clarity to how they connect given their beautiful differences. Since coming together November 2016, the #ladiesinpercussion have headlined major festivals such as Ragas Live at Pioneer Words in Brooklyn, NY and CrashFest at House of Blues in Boston, MA. After earning a commissioned artist residency in 2019 with Dixon Place Theater, they premiered their full length production "Can We Dance Here?", which was picked up again in 2020 for Gibney Dance's New Voices: Spotlight Series.
