Latin band to perform at rancho’s last concert of summer

Rancho Los Cerritos will host Latin band Romanza, led by Mexican-American musician Rodrigo Rodriguez Diaz, in an Aug. 26 summer concert where attendees may bring a picnic dinner and Salsa-dance. Museum gates will be open for picnicking after 4:30pm, and the concert is scheduled from 5:30pm to 7pm. The concert will take place in the open garden of the Rancho adobe house, and attendees are encouraged to bring their own lawn chairs and/or blankets. Admission is free.
Diaz is known for playing a number of instruments. His studies in Mexico focused on bass, which then became a stepping-stone for him to take on electronic bass after trying to adapt to the fierce music industry of Mexico.
The Romanza concert will be the third and last summer concert held this year at Rancho Los Cerritos. Parking is available in the lot across from the Rancho entrance or along Virginia Road.
Rancho Los Cerritos Historic Site is located at 4600 Virginia Rd. For more information about the concert, call (562) 570-1755 or visit rancholoscerritos.org .
