The Grammy Museum is announcing “City Sounds,” a new concert series highlighting Los Angeles local music. Hosted at the museum’s Clive Davis Theater, each concert will feature several musical acts from a specific L.A. neighborhood, showcasing a different neighborhood at each concert. In honor of Filipino History Month, “City Sounds” will kick off from 8:30 to 10 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 25, featuring artists Jessica Garcia, Apperson, Ruby Ibarra, and Klassy from Historic Filipinotown.
Situated between Echo Park, Westlake and Rampart Village, Historic Filipinotown has been home to a vibrant Filipino-American community since the 1940s. In 2002, Historic Filipinotown was officially recognized by City Council at the proposal of then-council member Eric Garcetti, making it the first official geographic designation by any city outside of the Philippines honoring Filipinos. Today, Historic Filipinotown is a diverse community with a strong arts presence and a number of annual festivals dedicated to honoring Filipino culture and heritage.
“City Sounds” is led by the museum’s community engagement department. This new department was established with the goal of increasing the museum’s impact in the diverse communities of Los Angeles. Other initiatives include “Sensory Saturdays,” a monthly event that transforms the museum into a more sensory-friendly environment for patrons of all ages and abilities and their families.
The Grammy Museum is located at 800 W. Olympic Blvd. To RSVP or for information, visit eventbrite.com/e/city-sounds-historic-filipinotown-tickets-73492864135.
