Cascada de Flores ('waterfall of flowers'), a music ensemble dedicated to the exploration, preservation and dissemination of Mexican and Caribbean music and dance. For 10 years, they have reached diverse audiences through a variety of live performances, from intimate house-concerts to performing arts centers ranging from the local to the international arena. They are also involved in creative collaborations, recording projects, community outreach activities and in-school programs and workshops.

Cascada de Flores celebrates the diversity of Mexican and Caribbean folk music and excels in the sound of the early 1900s when the Latin American golden age of song first exploded into the radio waves.  The ensemble features the hypnotic vocal duet of Arwen Lawrence de Castellanos and Sabra Weber and playful guitarist Jorge Liceaga, who also perform on a dizzying number of traditional instruments: tres cubano, flute, accordion, marimbol (a bass lamellaphone related to the African thumb piano), guitarra de son and jaranas of Veracruz, donkey's jaw bone, zapateado (percussive dance), and cajón.  Cascada de Flores' muses include the earthiest of duos of the traditional Trova from Cuba: the late Maria Teresa Vera and Lorenzo Hierrezuelo, as well as Quique and Tomás of Puerto Rico, Los Compadres of Cuba, Las Hermanas Mendoza of Texas, Toña La Negra of Veracruz and many maestros of Mexican and Cuban traditional music.
