World Music Wednesdays with Beats y Bateria!
A weekly showcase of world music and dance featuring the best local and touring talent!
Beats y Bateria brings a vibrant fusion of Afro-Cuban percussion, expressive vocals, and modern electronic production. Their performances combine tradition and innovation, moving seamlessly between dance-floor energy and intimate musical moments. With roots across Cuba, Moldova, and Chicago, the trio delivers a global sound that's both fresh and deeply connected.
Beats y Bateria is the creative meeting point of producer and DJ Harold “AfroQbano” Gonzalez, ethno jazz singer Ana Everling, and drummer Daniel Crane, friends who found a rhythm in making new music together. Their sound draws from traditional Afro Latino, Romanian, and neo electronic influences, weaving in shades of jazz, house, disco, and bossa nova, yet always looks forward rather than back. Ana's multilingual dance floor poetry floats over Harold's synths and percussion and Daniel's drum driven grooves, creating a space where their roots become raw material for something fresh. It is a collaborative and future minded project shaped by trust, curiosity, and the thrill of building new worlds through sound.

Most World Music Wednesday concerts are free with a $10 suggested donation.
