Family Art Day: La Manta

Infused with the passion of flamenco, the funky irreverence of Latin rock, the smooth syncopation of jazz and the mathematical precision of classical music, La Manta turns traditional Mexican music on its head. In this texturally diverse fusion performance, the group hums with Mexican pride while showcasing its wide range and buoyantly energetic sound. Join us for a special family-friendly performance by this popular band from Veracruz preceded by craft activities for kids and salsa dance lessons for parents. Lunch will be provided.
