Caribbean Express performs Saturday, September 17th from 12-1pm at Chochenyo Park. Led by Cuban singer-percussionist Jesús Díaz, Caribbean Express presents a dynamic mix of Caribbean and Latin American music rooted in the rhythms of Africa and indigenous cultures of the Americas. Demonstrating the role that music plays in cultural identity, history and geography, Caribbean Express encompasses a wide variety of styles from Cuba, Trinidad, Mexico and Jamaica, including calypso, bomba, salsa, son, rumba, reggae y mas! Get ready to sing, dance and clap along with the clave, congas, steel pan and be inspired by the rhythms of the Caribbean. As they say in Latin America, “¡Vamos a bailar!”

Rhythmix believes that exposure to the arts can be a transformative experience and a catalyst for cultural celebration. It is hoped these multi-talented ensembles performing for PAL in the Parks Family Concerts can help instill a sense of pride in heritage, identity and self-expression for all ages. PAL in the Parks is also intended to expand the reach of the Rhythmix PAL – Performance, Art & Learning program (currently offered exclusively to elementary schools in Alameda and Alameda County), to bring the power of music, dance, culture and arts education directly to YOU and your family!

Admission is FREE! Bring the whole family!
