Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Sonia De Los Santos has cancelled her upcoming appearance at the Kennedy Center in Washington. The Mexican American artist was scheduled to give two concerts for young people on February 7, alongside a "creative conversation" with the audience.
De Los Santos, whose 2018 release "¡Alegría!" received a Latin Grammy nomination for best children's album, explained her decision on Instagram. "As an artist, I treasure the freedom to create and share my music, and for many years I have used this privilege to uplift the stories of immigrants in this country," she wrote. "Unfortunately, I do not feel that the current climate at this beloved venue represents a welcoming space for myself, my band, or our audience."
