Raised by Puerto Rican parents between Atlanta and San Juan, Ani Cordero is now a long-time resident of Brooklyn and a staple of the global music scene. Recently, she’s appeared as drummer and back-up vocalist with the legendary Os Mutantes, as a founding member and drummer of Pistolera and as the front-woman for her bilingual art rock band, Cordero. In April 2014, Cordero released her new album titled “Recorder: Latin American Songs of Love and Protest,” revisiting songs from the 1930s-70s that highlight influential artists who provided the soundtrack for social change. Cordero is an Agnes Scott alumna. Her appearance is in conjunction with the 2016 Gladden Lecture by Rafael Ocasio at 5 p.m. in the Agnes Scott’s Frannie Graves Auditorium in Campbell Hall.
