Sunset Concerts highlights exceptional music from around the world, with each evening featuring sets from two artists
LOS ANGELES - Californer -- The Skirball Cultural Center presents the lineup for its twenty-eighth season of the free summertime live music series Sunset Concerts. Since 1997, Sunset Concerts have created an enduring musical haven for communities of greater Los Angeles and beyond. New to 2025, each evening will showcase sets from two artists in the Skirball's picturesque Taper Courtyard, giving music lovers the opportunity to enjoy world-class concerts while surrounded by the Santa Monica Mountains.
This year's program presents eight innovative and contemporary artists that reshape traditions, eschew conventions, and defy expectations. Meridian Brothers, while rooted in Colombian and salsa traditions, engages with electronica, post-punk and psychedelia in their complex arrangements. Stemming from funk, Say She She pushes the genre forward with their ''disco-delic'' sound that weaves classically-trained vocals with inventive rhythms and dense harmonies. One may identify the Ecuadorian heritage of Helado Negro while being swept up in the ambient pop and experimental electronica of his richly composed songs. Similar reinventions can be found in the complexly layered music of Frente Cumbiero that includes ska and klezmer in the context of Colombian music. Rounding out the season, the high-art afro-funk of JOJO ABOT, the thoughtfully penetrative songs of Rodrigo Amarante, the electronic beats of the Dominican MULA, and the afro-latin percussion of La Perla, which draws on merengue-punk, chicha, and cumbia sonidera, all represent some of the most exciting music being made today.
