FirstWorks Summer Beats Concerts: QUITAPENAS

Sunday, July 14th, 2024

6:00 PM – 8:00 PM

at the Roger Williams Park Bandstand

Come early for pre-show workshops:
3:30-4:30 PM: Capoiera/Maculele with Grupo Ondas
4:30-5:30 PM: Music workshop with QUITAPENAS

QUITAPENAS, one word – all caps, four syllables – all claps, gives you a taste of their rhythmic contagion. This tropical Afro-Latin combo was born under the warm California sun. They borrow aesthetics from the radical 60s, 70s and 80s. Each song echoes a remix of history and invites one to engage in the liberating evenings of Angola, Peru, Colombia, Brazil and beyond. The name means “to remove worries.” Everybody has a “pena” and the mission of QUITAPENAS is simple: to make you dance and leave you without a worry.
This event is FREE and open to the public! No tickets are needed, but you can RSVP at the ticket link, on the FirstWorks website

Presented by FirstWorks in partnership with Roger Williams Park Conservancy and Providence Parks Department.

Thank you, RWP family!!! We may not have reached our goal, but all of you got us to over $7,000 – more than twice as much as last year! 🌳🎉

Whether you donated, shared our page with friends, liked our posts, or sent good vibes our way, we appreciate your support and investment in the People`s Park! A gift to Roger Williams Park Conservancy builds and strengthens social and civic connections in a public green space we all share and steward.

With @pvdparks and our Park partners, we can`t wait to show you another year of programming, community-building, and fun! 🌞

If you donated $100 or more, watch your email over the next week for an invite to a party celebrating you at the @rwpboathousecafe! 🥂
