The San Diego Sound Project: Alex Arango

Alex Arango and his 5-piece band will present a night of original music that explores the rhythms and styles that influenced him. His set will include Colombian cumbias and vallenatos performed on the accordion as well as hip-hop and R&B pieces featuring special guest vocalists.

It’s an exciting mix of cultural influences and musical experiences.

The San Diego Sound Project is a concert series that highlights emerging groups or artists within the San Diego region. The project is supported by an advisory committee that includes GRAMMY Award winning producer and UCSD faculty member Kamau Kenyatta, CSUSM Professor and Center ARTES Executive Director Dr. Merryl Goldberg, Grossmont College Music Department Chair Derek Cannon, Emmy Award-winning composer and MiraCosta College faculty member Christy Coobatis, and Connections Chamber Music Series Co-Founder Bridget Dolkas.

The San Diego Sound Project has been made possible in part by The Conrad Prebys Foundation. The Museum's live stream capabilities were enhanced thanks to a grant from the City of Carlsbad's Cultural Arts Office.
