Soon after iLe forged her own path with her first solo project, iLevitable, which earned a Grammy for “Best Latin Rock, Urban or Alternative Album” in 2017 and a nomination at the Latin Grammy Awards for “Best New Artist.”iLe’s second album, Almadura, combines the words “soul” and “strength,” drawing from the Puerto Rican armadura (armor). Almadura received critical acclaim in Latin and U.S. music scenes. NPR lauded her “musical stands against injustice and inequality, [and] passionate statements about cultural pride.” BillBoard described iLe’s newest tracks as “ambient electronic sounds layered with old-school tropical styles and rhythms.”Be swept away by iLe’s free-wheeling vocals and intimate storytelling on March 4 as part of the Arts at the Armory’s Spotlight Series.Arts at the Armory Spotlight Series series puts the spotlight on local, national and international artists from diverse communities, and provides platforms that amplify these voices.
