FirstWorks Summer Beats Concerts: Spain’s Pedro Pastor

Spanish singer-songwriter Pedro Pastor performs an outdoor set with music drawing on African traditions, cumbia, flamenco, funk, and Latin American folklore. Pastor has released six albums and performed hundreds of concerts internationally with Los Locos Descalzos; his songs center on social change, love, learning, and cultural exchange.

Before the concert

Families may arrive at 5 p.m. for a creative conversation about arts and activism featuring Pastor, radio personality Tony Mendez, and poet, performer, and cultural organizer Sussy Santana.
