Seamlessly blending rock, R&B, and Mexican folk music, GRAMMY-winning band Quetzal encompasses the richness of East L.A.'s sound palette. With powerful lyrics addressing themes of social activism, Quetzal’s creative harmonizations stretch from soulful ballads to exuberant dances, blossoming into a dynamic performance with a social point of view.

Before the concert, join IJ for Sound Bites, a 15-minute pre-show talk that dives into the themes explored during the 2018-19 season, Origin Stories. On Friday, May 10 at 7 pm, artist, educator, and organizer Yared Portillo will speak about Quetzal's work, arts-based community organizing, and the origins of the son jarocho musical style. 

And after the concert, join Quetzal and members of the community for a fandango - a vibrant dance and musical celebration.
