CHUCHO PONCE Y LOS DADDYS
The grand finale of Grand Performances’ 38th summer season was a cornucopia of cumbia. We witnessed the entire breadth of this beloved genre, from its old school beginnings in Colombia to the innovative new takes we’re currently hearing all across Latin America.
Our friends at CHIRLA (the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights) contributed to that palpable joy. Both at their booth and while speaking on stage, they spread their message of reuniting families and giving some of our most vulnerable communities the dignity, respect and resources they need to thrive. It’s an essential and serious mission, but thankfully for one evening they were able to celebrate their hard fought political wins and dance the night away. If you want to get involved, don’t hesitate to give them a follow!
We thank everyone who attended our final 2024 show, and all who came through to support us during the entire season. We’re looking forward to some rest and relaxation before regrouping to plan next year’s musical journeys.
