¡Viva el Arte de Santa Bárbara! Presents Three Free Performances by Quitapenas

March 10 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm PDT

¡Viva el Arte de Santa Bárbara! (Viva) is back with another exciting free community event. Enjoy three free exhilarating performances from Afro-Latin music group, Quitapenas. 

 

Founded in 2011 and born under the warm California sun, Quitapenas share a love of dance rhythms from the tropical Afro-Latin diaspora.The group is made up of first generation sons of immigrant parents from Guatemala and Mexico. They borrow aesthetics from the radical 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. Their songs are a remix of history, and invite one to engage in the liberating evenings of Angola, Peru, Colombia, Brazil and beyond. The name means “to remove worries.” Everybody has a “pena” and the mission of Quitapenas is simple: to make you dance and leave you without a worry.

El grupo está formado por hijos de primera generación de padres inmigrantes de Guatemala y México. Incorporan la estética de los años 60, 70 y 80. Sus canciones son una remezcla de la historia e invitan a participar en las noches liberadoras de Angola, Perú, Colombia, Brasil y más allá. El nombre significa “eliminar preocupaciones”.
