Jauretsi (ha-ret-see) is a multi-hyphenate content creator and culture builder with a passion for music. Heavily influenced by her Cuban roots, Jauretsi's DJ and music curation services span two decades, including a past radio show on Latin Funk for Miss Lily's in Soho New York, and collaborations with musicians, including Pharrell Williams, Questlove, and Major Lazer. 

In her publishing days, Jauretsi wrote for boundary-pushing outlets like Paper, Details, and Jane magazine, where she also served as Entertainment Editor. With an editor's eye, Jauretsi spearheaded a mix of articles, events, initiatives, newsletters, and social media strategies to build community. She's since written, directed, or produced for clients including New York Times' T Magazine, eBay's The Inside Source, The Standard Hotel Culture, Soho House (West Coast US), and more.

Tosstones Aponte is a GRAMMY-nominated musician, composer, and producer. His artistry has no boundaries because of his ability to create, direct, and perform. The trail blazer has been able to build a successful career as an independent artist and band leader organically. 

Growing up in Puerto Rico, the richness of percussion and dance shaped every aspect of his expression. Tosstones merges salsa, hip-hop, reggaeton, Caribbean music, Afrobeats, jazz, and more. Tosstones has made major noise in Hollywood for being a part of the creative team behind Bad Bunny’s 2023 GRAMMYs performance, Mexican icon Marisela's world tour (2021–2022), Elvis Crespo's “Suavemente” 25th anniversary on Univision TV (2020). He received Best Jazz Album (GRAMMY and Latin GRAMMY) nominations for his collaboration on David Sanchez ’s Carib album (2019). 

Our popular summertime music series is back! Get together with friends and family to sing and dance to an eclectic lineup of musicians in the Skirball’s picturesque hillside courtyard.

Taking place in the heart of our relaxing, communal oasis, our twenty-seventh season explores the diaspora and identity of African and Caribbean artists whose music warmly embraces humanity’s inherent right to freedom.
