Latin Sounds: Oskar Cartaya

Spend your Saturday evenings with world-renowned artists performing everything from Indigenous music to the latest sounds from Argentina, Brazil, Cuba, Mexico, Peru, and Los Angeles! These free concerts are presented Saturday evenings from Memorial Day weekend in May to Labor Day weekend in September. 

This week, join us for a concert with Oskar Cartaya. 

During the course of a full career playing bass, composing, arranging, and acting as musical director, Latin Grammy nominee Oskar Cartaya has soaked up the influences of his homes in Puerto Rico, New York, and Los Angeles to create his very unique style. Oskar has worked with a wide array of artists including Spyro Gyra, Herb Alpert, Celia Cruz, Tito Puente, and Willie Colón. His latest project, The Latination, combines the best of Latin, jazz, and soul influences into a high-octane sound.
