New to the show this year are Afro Peruvian Experience, promoting the cultural diversity of Peru; soul singer-songwriter Andre Cruz; award-winning jazz vocalist Anji Tan & Friends; dynamic, all-Queens Afro Brazilian drum ensemble Bloco Obini; Bavarian band Ladyhosen; all-female independent band Mariachi Lindas Mexicanas; Masanga Marimba playing popular music from Africa and Latin America; and powerful guitar band The String Revolution. Those who can’t make it to The Music Center on Dec. 24 will be able to watch the event live on PBS SoCal, livestream it online at pbssocal.org, or or catch the encore broadcast on PBS SoCal Plus.
