Te-Hual-Ne
“Tu eres yo” de la lengua Náhuatl
Proyecto musical que incluye danzas y elementos rituales
El estilo se puede clasificar como etno-fusion: teniendo como parte del repertorio algunos cantos ancestrales, también combina texturas sonoras orgánicas, tendencias y cadencias pop, africanas, new age, funk, étnicas y sonidos electrónicos. Así, ritmos, melodías, intenciones, imágenes, coreografías y rituales se entremezclan para entregar equilibradamente sabores y sentires a manera elemental: tierra, agua, viento y fuego.
Así la flecha Te-Hual-Ne, va dirigida a estimular el intelecto, a mover el alma y a provocar la danza. Los ingredientes del todo tienden un puente con la cosmicidad y la multi-dimensionalidad vivida por nuestros ancestros, entran al territorio metafísico de la psicodelia indígena y contemporánea, emanan energía de sanación y alegría y son una ofrenda a la vida, al espíritu ancestral y al porvenir… de la raíz al infinito.

Award-winning songwriter, Folkgoddess Diane Patterson 
subverts the dominant paradigm with rocking acoustic guitar and ukulele, 
a mighty pen, and a woman's voice, since 1989. 

Diane’s been performing at festivals and venues since 1991, beginning with co-fronting a world music band in Davis, then starting the award-winning Diane Patterson Sextet with three fellow songwriters and two percussionists,
followed by 13 years of solo, duo, and trio work, mainly with Al Torre on guitar.

This February 2018 Diane released a fantastic new CD, Open Road, with gold record-producer Mike "Nappy" Napolitano. Featuring supporting vocals and instrumentation by none other than Ani DiFranco, Open Road is also graced by Al Torre, Alice DiMicele, Terrence Higgins, Todd Sickafoose, and more.

Patterson has also published five other solo CDs:  Teach, Inspire, Be Real (2016), Build a Bridge (2013), Holy Days of Winter (2011), World Awake (2010), and Hip the Hip (2005).

But even more healing and delightful is to hear Diane play live. Call her support team at (214) 676-719nine to book a house concert, venue or festival near you.

“Diane is an amazing songwriter and a world healer.” -- Bill Brickey, Chicago musician and producer
“Joni Mitchell meets Ani DiFranco. Patterson is a modern day folk goddess.”
“Diane is a young Pete Seeger.” —Percussionist & Composer, Geoffrey Gordon
