🎶 The rhythm hasn’t stopped! 🎶

Although Hispanic Heritage Month has ended, the celebration lives on! Thank you to the Ruben Coca Quartet for an unforgettable performance filled with soulful jazz and Latin jazz standards, original compositions, and rhythms. 💃🕺

The interactive percussion workshop reminded us that rhythm is part of our everyday lives, and it was a joy to make music together. 🥁
