Live Music @THP South

Join us for a live music concert featuring guitarist Javier Trujillo and the Wasska Project. 

Based in the Bay Area, Wasska Project is a colloquial musical idea that fuses Latin-American traditional harmonies with classical guitar resources.The colors of the cajon, donkey jaw, cajita, spoons, and Afro Peruvian tap dancing are exposed to the dynamics of the guitar, bringing a rich conversation between oral tradition and a colorful cadence in the strings.
