FloydCARE presents – The Lua Project

Join us at The Floyd Country Store on Wednesday, December 17, 2025 at 6:00 pm for a celebration of our hispanic friends and neighbors in collaboration with FloydCARE and Floyd Friends of Asylum Seekers. FREE with donations accepted.

ABOUT LUA

Lua is a cultural pollinator, bridging together musical styles from different continents and different centuries. They write about contemporary themes, about families, and communities, of work and loss, but draw on the musical traditions of their own cultural past.

The music is inspired by Mexican and Appalachian song forms, Eastern European tonalities, baroque melodic ideas, & narrative storytelling approaches. They have created a repertoire that constitutes a new traditional music that is being shared with their children to experience, transform, and pass on.

ABOUT FLOYD CARE

Floyd CARE is a non-partisan non-profit made of dedicated volunteer community members. Our mission is to inspire CARE, or Community Action for Racial Equity, in Floyd County, Virginia.

We define equity beyond equality, which is the equal treatment of all people, to include identifying and dismantling bias within policies, practices, systems, and structures that have led to present-day disparities.  For us, equity also includes acts of accountability and repair within our community.  In other words, an equitable community not only eliminates racial bias, but also invests resources (social, financial, or otherwise) into addressing disparities.  As this work is battling an ingrained cultural and structural imbalance, we see seeking equity as an ongoing and intentional practice.
