The Oakland Museum of California (OMCA) is offering up powerful grooves this Friday Nights! The OMCA Garden stage is set to amplify the electrifying sounds of La Misa Negra. An 8 piece band from California, La Misa Negra is known for their horns, accordion-driven riffs, and a fierce rhythm section that power an infectious high-energy Afro-Latin cumbia sound.
A friendly and high energy dance lesson! Samba Fusion and Fun! w/ Queen Joy Broussard will provide visitors with all smooth Brazilian Samba moves they'll need to take in and amplify the flowing good summer energy. A rich and textured set from Oakland-local DJ Fasho will sustain the vibe with a skillful blend of R&B, Afrobeats, reggae, pop, and reggaeton.
In addition to an outstanding event experience, every Friday Nights at OMCA also offers guests a well-rounded gallery experience with Gallery Chats. Unlike the traditional museum tour, Gallery Chats invites visitors to chat, ask questions and connect with our OMCA facilitators who combine content knowledge with lived experience to encourage meaningful dialogue and fresh interpretations of our exhibitions.
