Presidio Theatre Presents Perla Batalla In the House of Cohen
SEE EVENT DETAILS
Perla Batalla in the House of Cohen features selected songs and rare personal anecdotes that serve to reveal Leonard Cohen's lighter side. The evening reveals the timelessness of Cohen's art through Perla Batalla's signature crosscultural style, to convey her sincere respect and deep love for the music, the poetry, and most of all for her dear friend, Leonard Cohen. November 7 is the 3rd anniversary of Leonard Cohen's passing.
In 2015, Grammy nominated singer Perla Batalla began pondering songs to include in a followup CD to her 2007 tribute release to friend and mentor Leonard Cohen. As a longtime touring band member with the legendary songwriter, Perla knew there was much of Cohen's body of work she still wanted to perform and record.
"In this show, there are times when I ask my audience to sing with me," Batalla says. "I feel that the coming together of voices has the power to touch Leonard's spirit and with it, his lifelong devotion to art and the mysteries of the human heart. Live music is about being in the moment, and I always have this secret expectation that as we lift our voices up as one we will feel Leonard all around us...and we usually do."
