Kateri Lopez

Kateri Lopez is a multi-instrumentalist from Albuquerque's South Valley. Her interest in music began to root itself while attending polvaderas (dusty dances) and local fiestas with her family. Her musical journey began at a young age while accompanying her grandparents on guitar in their local Spanish choir.

It is through these experiences that she was introduced to dances such as the Polka, Ranchera, y Valse. She continues to write and pursue music that inspires movement and dance with various musical projects in New Mexico. 

Forever drawing inspiration from the sounds of the Rio Grande Valley, Lopez has accompanies musicians within a wide variety of genres including Son Jarocho, Bilingual Classic Country, Old Time, SW Fiddle Tunes, and Americana. 

In Addition to her musical interests, Kateri is an adobe mason who works with a New Mexico-based nonprofit that partners with communities to preserve their historic adobe building and teaches traditional building practices. 

Kateri currently performs with bilingual classic country group, The Roswells, as well as Southwest Fiddle Duo, Tíos Míos.
