For the 6th year in a row, KCRW partners with the Natural History Museum for LA’s most unique monthly music series.
Hang with the dinosuars AND see great music?? It’s a win win all around!
The all-ages series kicks off THIS Friday, February 6 with UK artist Tom Vek and Robert Delong, whose star continues to rise since the release of his breakthrough debut in 2013.
KCRW’s own Raul Campos will be holding down the DJ Lounge as the resident DJ alongside special guest Mr Pauer, a pioneer of the Latin electronica sound and a Latin Grammy-Nominated producer and re-mixer.
The evening will also feature a pop up performance from Quitapenas, who incorporate traditional Afro-Latin rhythms with modern instruments to create their own interpretation of 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s world dance music.
The just-released lineup for March 6 features local R&B crooner JMSN.
The Detroit-born singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist has collaborated with everyone from Kendrick Lamar to J. Cole.
Tokyo native StarRo opens the show, with DJ Sabo bringing his Balearic fusion of deep house, tropical bass, techno, Moombahton, Dub, and disco to the DJ Lounge.
The festivities begin at 5pm, with curatorial tours and a discussion and the museum doors stay open until 10pm for these special evenings that combine art and smarts.
