Grammy Award–winning rock group Quetzal kicks off the 2021 Sunset Concerts season! Formed in the wake of the 1992 Los Angeles uprising and active in the East LA Chicano community, this relentlessly innovative ensemble creates music with a social and political point of view.

Known for their lively community gatherings inspired by the fandangos of Mexico’s Veracruz state, Quetzal brings to the Skirball stage an irresistible blend of son jarocho, salsa, and R&B.
 

“A musical vision that inspires as much as it entertains.”—NPR

Deepening Sunset Concerts’ connection to Los Angeles and the Skirball’s core values of justice, community, and kindness, Quetzal has selected the following organizations to share the evening with us. Learn more about their work below.

• Community Power Collective exists to uplift low-income tenants and workers through transformative organizing. 
• The Alliance for California Traditional Arts promotes and supports ways for cultural traditions to thrive now and into the future.

Sunset Concerts invites you to sing and dance to a world-class lineup of local musicians whose work amplifies the Skirball’s values to pursue justice, build community, show kindness, and honor memory.
