A Latin American plaza springs up in Chicago - at The Old Town School of Folk Music

The Old Town School of Folk Music bustles daily with students carting instruments to classes and echoes of percussive flamenco stepping or drum circles piecing out African beats. But at midweek, the lobby of the main concert hall becomes a Latin American plaza, the traditional center of folk life and community commonplace.

If you missed its winter kickoff, the 12th season of La Pena continues every Wednesday at 8:30 p.m. through March 12, with free, ticketed shows consisting of two sets every night for a full-bodied showcase of music and dance spanning the trans-continental diversity of Latino culture.”*
