Richard Hildner is a member of Acoplados and Grupo Balança.
The reimagined Strollin Middleton from Arts + Literature Laboratory â a series of livestream concerts from venues in the Good Neighbor City â wraps up with sets from two of Madison s most distinctive musicians. Josh Cohen plays solo bass, but like nobody else you ve ever heard. Utilizing an atypical six-string instrument, Cohen has developed a technique of creating a melody line and rhythm parts all on his own. Guitarist Richard Hildner Armacanqui is a Madison native who grew up playing Peruvian music with his family. Since then he has mastered a variety of musical styles, and currently plays in Acoplados, Golpe Tierra and other Madison bands. Find the concert on Facebook or YouTube.

In 2014 the Greater Madison Jazz Consortium debuted its Strollin events, in which a series of performances take place on one evening in a group of venues in walking distance. Since then the GMCC has become a part of Arts + Literature Laboratory.and, of course, we have entered an interlude when wandering between concerts is a couch-bound activity. Strollin organizers responded by making the series a virtual one â at
YouTube â with seven Sunday concerts by local jazz musicians recorded at four Middleton venues. This week features a set by
Lo Marie, whose songwriting smoothly mixes soul and jazz, and as a performer is versatile enough to also perform with both the Frank Zappa tribute The Furious Bongos and Orquesta Salsoul del Mad. The series continues on Jan. 3 and 10.
