Grand Performances Kicks Off Season with Cumbia, Celebration, and Roy Ayers Tribute

The wait is over. Grand Performances launches its season this Saturday, June 6th, at Cal Plaza with an evening of cumbia and tropical grooves. Grupo Soñador, Wachiwara, and DJ Turbo Sonidero will deliver synth-heavy rhythms and irresistible jams—the kind of night that reminds you why live music under the open sky matters. RSVP or catch the YouTube livestream from home.

And there’s more: Ozomatli has been added to the 40th anniversary celebration on June 13th. Few bands embody LA’s heartbeat quite like Ozomatli, and they’ll share the stage with an already impressive lineup—Jungle Fire, Healing Gems, and Liza Richardson. It’s a night built for the city that raised them.

For those who want to go deeper, Grand Performances’ latest podcast episode features Eric Coleman, curator of this year’s Bees & Things & Flowers: A Tribute to the Music of Roy Ayers. The conversation is live now—join in.
