SUMMARY:KCRW Summer Nights
DESCRIPTION:EVERY SATURDAY- California Plaza   \nKCRW Summer Nights is BACK! KCRW & Grand Performances are teaming up for an extraordinary night in honor of the 20th Anniversary of Afro Funke’! Come celebrate the legacy of the once-weekly party night that turned global\, with live performances from Rocky Dawuni and Buyepongo\, plus DJ sets from Afro Funke’ residents Glenn Red and KCRW’s Jeremy Sole. \nJoin us for Afrobeat\, Latin\, Brazilian\, Indian\, Jamaican\, and other traditional and remixed world rhythms\, plus African drumming and dancing\, DJ Culture\, arts & crafts\, and much more! \n \nAll Grand Performances Shows take place Saturdays 6:00 pm – 10:00 pm\, at The California Plaza\, 350 South Grand AvenueLos Angeles\, CA\, 90071\n\n\nRocky Dawuni\n\n\nAfro Funke’ founder\, Rocky Dawuni with his full 10-piece “Afro Roots Band” will headline the night. The three-time GRAMMY-nominated musician and activist straddles the boundaries between Africa\, the Caribbean\, and the U.S. to create his appealing Afro Roots sound that unites generations and cultures. \nhttps://rockydawuni.com/ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBuyepongo\nHometown favorites\, Buyepongo make contemporary pan-Latin music in the style they intriguingly call “buyangú” — an eclectic but cohesive mezcla of global beats and spicy flavors influenced by their California home base as well as the band members’ travels to Central and South America. \nhttps://buyepongo.bandcamp.com/ \n\n\nJeremy Sole\nJeremy Sole’s upbringing was seeped in the rich Chicago history of Blues\, Jazz\, Disco\, Salsa and Soul – and he reveled in that space where they all blend together. As a teenager\, Sole threw loft parties that were a culture clash during the birth of Hip Hop and House music. His obsession grew to include music from every corner of the world and\, in 2001\, Sole moved to LA. With a broad musical palette\, he felt right at home in the spiciest melting pot in the country. \nIn April 2006\, Sole was in the studio working with Ms. Lauryn Hill. After hearing him mix\, she asked if he had ever considered getting into radio\, “…because this is the music the people need to hear”. Months later\, KCRW called to ask him that same question\, and since then you can hear him Wednesdays from 12-3am on 89.9FM and KCRW.com. \nhttps://www.kcrw.com/music/shows/jeremy-sole \n\n\nGlenn Red\nKnown primarily for his work as half of Santa Monica’s legendary Afro Funké Sound System and one-third of beloved Afro-Latin deejay/producer collective\, La Junta\, GLENN RED quietly continues to forge a loyal following among fans of eclectic music\, steadily rocking crowds in the city’s most respected venues alongside the finest selectors and musicians from around the world. With the honest music of passionate artists as a common thread\, his deejay sets weave fluidly through time and across genres\, connecting the traditional sounds of Africa and the Americas with their modern expressions around the globe. Afrobeat\, Cumbia\, Rumba\, and Samba rhythms embrace Funk\, Soul\, Hip-Hop\, and Reggae\, as Glenn’s rhythmic and multifaceted sound echoes the deep\, colorful\, and spirited energy of LA and its soulful people. \nhttps://glennred.com \n\n \nAbout KCRW Summer Nights: \nKCRW Summer Nights is BACK!
