Christian Larumbe: Refugio In The Parks at McKinley

Christian Larumbe brings his album *Refugio* to McKinley Park on Thursday, September 10, from 6 to 7 PM, reimagining classic Latin American songs with a contemporary jazz ensemble. Featuring drummer Gustavo Cortiñas, bassist Kitt Lyles, and guest soloist Emily Kuhn, the set pulls from pieces like "La Llorona" and "Como Fué" while weaving in improvisation. Larumbe describes the album's title—Spanish for "shelter"—as a reflection of the comfort these songs have offered during his years away from home. A free outdoor concert that works equally well for dedicated listeners and a casual evening in the park.
