Saturday, December 19, 2026 at 7:30pm, doors at 7pm we are privileged to present ROOTS ACROSS ARIZONA LANDSCAPES - A COMMUNITY CONCERT SERIES - FREE FOR ALL! Experience the irresistible rhythms of Waila, the lively social dance music of the Tohono O’odham people of southern Arizona! Join Gertie Lopez & the T.O. Boyz for a wonderful evening of music, cultural tradition, and community. This is a rare opportunity to experience a vibrant Native Arizona musical tradition performed by outstanding musicians who carry it forward. Come listen, dance, and celebrate!
Gertrude “Gertie” Lopez is a Tohono O’odham Waila musician, and leader of Gertie and the T.O. Boyz. Widely recognized for sustaining and presenting traditional O’odham waila (“chicken scratch”), she will share her dance-driven repertoire rooted in traditional community with original compositions, and those of her father, a fiddle player who fused Tohono ancestral music with that of Eastern European settlers. The concert will open with a brief performance by Wild World Irish Fiddle, with Kate Rose and Armand Ramirez!
