Grand Performances was overjoyed to commemorate Cumbiatón's 5th anniversary as their second-to-last concert of the summer of 2022!

Mariposas Del Alma, Maria Chingona, Naydan, Juanga, Celia Cruz, and more will be joining Cumbiatón for their remarkable celebration!

Cumbiatón is an intergenerational cultural movement that embraces music and art to heal and elevate disadvantaged communities.

Founded by two women of color working in social justice organizing, Cumbiatón uses the beats of cumbia, reggaeton, hip hop, salsa, merengue and Banda to bring together an intergenerational community of undocumented, queer and marginalized people in a safe space where they can find healing together.

All of the performers and artists that joined us this past Saturday put on a concert for the ages. The open-minded and all-inclusive environment established by these musicians made the audience feel at ease and included in their community.

The crowd of all ages was ecstatic to get up and get their grooves on from start to finish! The cheering was never-ending and smiles were ever-lasting.

Thank you to all of the artists, staff, and listeners that attended in support of a loving community! Next Saturday will be our final grand-final performance of the summer, with Francisca Valenzuela and Renee Goust!
