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.
