Arts for The Schools brings back OnSTAGE Live with this great show! QUITAPENAS, one word – all caps, four syllables – all claps! This tropical Afro-Latin combo was born under the warm California sun, but they borrow aesthetics from the radical 60s, 70s and 80s. Each song echoes a remix of history and the music of Angola, Peru, Colombia, Brazil and beyond. The name means “to remove worries.” Everybody has a “pena” and the mission of QUITAPENAS is simple: to make you dance and leave with no worries!
Founded in 2011, the band was formed around their shared love of dance rhythms from the Tropical Afro Latin diaspora. They assembled a group of like-minded friends to share the vision that went on to be QUITAPENAS. The group is made up of first generation sons of immigrant parents from Guatemala and Mexico.
