The Wesleyan Connection: Campus Snapshot

SUMMER SERIES : East L.A.-based Quetzal performed as part of the Center for the Arts Nights series June 29. The group was found by guitarist/jarana/bajo sexto player Quetzal Flores, who brings a grass-roots approach to fusing the folk styles of Mexico and Cuba along with elements of rock and blues.

Quetzal’s beats got the audience dancing in the aisles of Crowell Concert Hall. The concert was intended to be outside but rainy weather moved it indoors.
Quetzal kicked off the CFA Night Series, which also includes upcoming performances Eclipse: Visions of the Crescent and the Cross Forces of Nature Dance Theatre Company on July 6-7; Tim Crouch: An Oak Tree on July 20; and Jane Bunnett & Spirits of Havana on July 27. (Photos by Olivia Bartlett)
