Reina del Cid & Toni Lindgren
Singer/songwriter Reina del Cid and guitar phenom Toni Lindgren played an intimate duo concert at the Dretske house on Friday July 29, 2016 to a sold-out house.
Lead singer Reina was a literary major in college and applies her storytelling sensibilities into all of her songs.
Regarding her lyrics, Reina comments, "I actually try to not influence the way people interpret the music. I really like the idea of people bringing their own story to it and giving it multiple meanings. I have a song called 'Emily' (from the album blueprints, plans) that people always ask me about after shows. 'Who is Emily? Do you know this girl?' I always reply, 'Emily is a girl in your life. That is the girl for you.' It's never a good answer for people. I always integrate ‘authorial intent.’ It's a term we use in English literature meaning you don't want the author to get in the way of your interpretation. It doesn't really matter what the author intended, you need to guide it on your own.”
Being a female, Toni doesn't fit into the usual stereotype that lead guitarists often fall into, but with her prowess on guitar, Lindgren brought a fascinating dimension to the music.
We were honored to have Reina and Toni performing in our home and thank all who attended for this magical night. Learn more about their music: www.reinadelcid.com
