- Cunyá at 4:30 & 5:30 p.m. - Puerto Rican bomba music for the 21st century. Cunya carries on the honored tradition of this unique music that evolved from the sugar plantations of the Caribbean. The masterful percussion, creative arrangements and passion are infectious and dancing is encouraged.

There will be a traditional Di?a de los Muertos altar in the lobby of the concert hall and audience members will meet La Catrina, Mexico's grande dame of death. One of the many elaborate skeleton characters seen in Mexican art and lore, she will mix among the living in the Concert Hall lobby prior to the concert. La Catrina and Ms. Downs' dancers will lead the concert audience into the hall at 5:45 p.m. Admission to the lobby is limited to ticket holders only.
