Wasska Project at RBA Creative for Live in the Laurel
Saturday, October 19 | 5-7pm
RBA Creative, 3718 MacArthur Blvd.

The Live in The Laurel (LITL) free, all ages concert series features outstanding locally-based live music and homegrown fun in The Laurel. Each month, explore some rising stars and local favorites as they perform in intimate venues along MacArthur Boulevard. Your summers won’t be the same once you add LITL to your calendar!

Based in the Bay Area, Wasska Project is a colloquial musical idea that fuses Latin American traditional harmonies with classical guitar. Colored by the cajon, quijada (donkey jaw), spoons and Afro-Peruvian tap dancing, Wasska Project’s music is a rich conversation between oral tradition and a colorful cadence in the strings.

Visitors are invited to dine at participating restaurant venues during the shows or at one of the many Boulevard restaurants before/after. Stick around to browse boutique shops, catch a yoga class, pamper and glam at a salon, and explore the many public art works and murals
