Free concert in conjunction with the exhibition Boyle Heights: The Power of Place

Join us for a special concert celebrating over half a century of musical history with legendary artists of the past and present who have placed their community and their music on top of the world's musical map. The rich and glorious tradition of Boyle Heights' music is a metaphor and microcosm of the American dream for an autonomous and harmonious multicultural society. Mexican, African, Asian, Jewish, Anglo, and Cuban American music organically took root and meshed in the fertile multiethnic community of Boyle Heights, composing a rich musical and cultural legacy that continues to inspire and flourish.

Featuring musical artists such as Lalo Guerrero, the "godfather" of Chicano music; Cannibal & The Headhunters, who helped give birth to the Eastside Golden Age of the mid- 60s; Tierra, the premiere Latin R&B-Jazz fusionists and considered the East L.A. band of "all-time"; and East L.A. Taiko, led by musician and poet George Yoshida. Concert curated by Ruben Guevara.
