Founded by the Latin Grammy-nominated band Making Movies, Celebrate AMERI’KANA is a traveling festival honoring the diverse colors of American music. Examining how artists of different backgrounds, ethnicities, languages and cultures – and their own unique sounds – have shaped American music, and what it means to be an American musician past and present. “We’ve been building spaces in the U.S. that curate music differently – music measured by its spirit. This feels like an important time to use music to unite us.” Enrique Chi, Making Movies.
