Isabel Crespo Pardo Album Listening Party

Tanto Te Hé Querido Listening Party

Nov.18 2026 6:30-8:30PM.

Join us to hear debut solo electroacoustic album by Brooklyn-based interdisciplinary artist isabel crespo pardo's tanto te he querido (so much i’ve loved you) under new moniker, iiisa. Merging field recordings, poemsongs, and familial voices from their home in Costa Rica, they build memory portals for the kindling of transformation.

The album is a window into a continually evolving and iterative world, created with “a gloriously improvised heart” writes Dada Strain of crespo pardo’s music. Known and celebrated for a strong track record of highly rewarding collaborations, this solo guise reveals a new facet of their artistic vision. Here, the self becomes a constellation of shifting presences.

Drawing from Latin American histories, Black American art, and queer and trans thought, iiisa prioritizes vulnerability, interconnection, and an openness to change. The resulting album tanto te he querido is largely crafted with composted fragments of past compositions and field recordings gathered over the past decade.

Come to celebrate, meet the artist, and get the first listen on the Head HiFi vintage Klipsch La Scala speakers.

The lineup will also include Yaz Lancaster and MIRA MIRA.
