Nohe Y Sus Santos is a genre bending Latin band from Santa Fe, NM delivering fresh vibes of Cumbia, Rock, Pop, and a variety of Latin grooves. They’ve captivated audiences across the United States and Canada with their vibrant performances that ignite joy and movement wherever they play. Fronted by celebrated Honduran vocalist Nohelia Sosa, and supported by Randy Sanchez on guitar and Dennis Javier Jasso on drums, this powerful trio brings an infectious energy that gets crowds dancing and spirits lifted.

Shae Fiol was raised in a home where an intuitive sense of melody was a birthright. A self-taught and undeniably gifted artist, Fiol’s voice inspires awe—not only for its mastery, but for the joyful abandon with which she plays with melody, like a child with a favorite toy. It looks effortless, and perhaps she does possess a (super?)natural gift—but it’s also the result of thousands of hours honing her craft. That blend of skill and spirit gives her an undeniably magnetic stage presence.

Her self-produced debut album Catch a Ride blended jazz, rock,  alternative R&B and Latin, with her voice as the golden thread. That same instinct for fusion led her to co-found Flor de Toloache, the groundbreaking all-woman mariachi that earned a Latin Grammy and multiple Grammy nominations. As co-director and lead vocalist, Shae toured the world.  Now, after two decades in NYC,  she’s rooted and ready to bloom anew in New Mexico, rediscovering her voice and launching a new solo project.

DJ AliDelih brings a burst of positive energy to the dancefloor, creating a playful, feel-good atmosphere that makes everyone want to move. She keeps the excitement high and the good vibes flowing, perfect for a fun, young-hearted crowd!

Joe Hayes is one of America’s premier storytellers—a nationally recognized teller of tales from the Hispanic, Native American, and Anglo cultures. His bilingual Spanish-English tellings have earned him a distinctive place among America’s storytellers.  Joe has delighted and inspired children in thousands of schools and was the resident storyteller at the Wheelwright Museum of the American Indian in Santa Fe for 39 years. Many parents and teachers of today’s children heard Joe’s tales when they were children themselves. His performance at Stronger Together Fest will be his second-to-last public performance ever. Don’t miss it!
