Free Outdoor Concert At Belvedere Community Regional Park Hosted By LA County Parks

Sounds of Los Angeles County has announced their summer concert series at the legendary amphitheater at Belvedere Community Regional Park, known affectionately by generations of locals as 'El Parque de los Patitos' (The Duck Park). This East LA County landmark is an absolute crown jewel of Chicano culture, neighborhood activism, and community pride.

An all-female mariachi fusion ensemble, blending traditional regional Mexican music with elements of country, latin alternative, and jazz. Founded by a singer/songwriter, Nancy Sanchez who was inspired by her hometown Toluca's chorizo and named the group after their beautiful tradition as a tribute. You'll hear some traditional guitarrón, vihuela, and violin from Las Chorizeras when they take the stage on July 16th.

Pulling double duty for this showcase, Nancy Sanchez brings her bicultural songwriting prowess into a fiery country-folk lane. She is joined by Diego Garcia, a Latin Grammy-winning guitar virtuoso from Spain internationally celebrated for pioneering the 'Spanish Ragtime' and 'Twang' guitar style. Together, they seamlessly bridge the worlds of classic American honky-tonk, rockabilly, and traditional Mexican storytelling.

DJ Mark Torres is the influential host and producer behind the groundbreaking radio show Travel Tips for Aztlan on KPFK 90.7 FM, Mark has spent decades championing, documenting, and elevating the Latin Alternative music scene in Los Angeles and beyond.
