MAC Summer Concert Series

Music on the lawn with Monroe Arts Center’s Sounds of Summer Concert series.  Families can picnic, dance, and visit with friends while listening to a wide variety of music each second and fourth Wednesday evening from June through August at the Monroe Arts Center. All concerts begin at 6:30pm and are free of charge.  Tonight – back by popular demand Groupo la Septima Alianza.  From Madison, Wisconsin, the music of Groupo La Séptima Alianza is characterized by a fresh and modern take on Latin tropical and regional Mexican music. Groupo La Séptima Alianza plays a variety of music such as Cumbia (folkloric rhythm and dance from Colombia), Norteña (Mexican music from Northern Mexico), Quebradita (a Mexican dancing and music style), and Zapateada (dance styles of Mexico, with a lively rhythm punctuated by the striking of the dancer’s shoes). The group’s director, Omar Miranda remarks, “We do not want to focus on just one kind of music, because our Latino community is very diverse in musical tastes.”
