TONIGHT’S PERFORMANCE

TELMARY featuring DJ Sizzle Fantastic

sunset concerts_telmary

From Havana, Cuba, street poet Telmary has emerged as a leader and trendsetter on the cutting edge of hip-hop and urban music in Cuba. As a rapper, Telmary uses her distinctive voice, at times deep and soulful, at times fast and aggressive to proclaim a positive, empowering message that contrasts with the genre’s commercial norm.

Celebrating its twenty-sixth season, this year’s Sunset Concerts showcase artists hailing from Jewish, African, and Cuban diasporas. Through their captivating performances, we explore the intertwining threads of music that connect us to the past and foster cultural unity, inspiring hope for a harmonious future.

To make the most of your evening, arrive early and indulge in delicious food, drinks, and shopping opportunities. You can also take the time to explore our fascinating exhibitions, adding depth to your cultural experience.

The best part? Admission to the concerts is absolutely FREE! However, for parking, there will be a nominal fee of $20 upon arrival, but you can avail of a discounted rate of $15 with advance purchase. Skirball Members can take advantage of an even lower rate of $5 with advance purchase. We encourage you to carpool, rideshare, or use public transportation like Metro to make your journey even more sustainable and enjoyable.

Come one, come all, and let the Sunset Concerts enchant you with melodies and rhythms that will stay with you long after the night ends!
