With support from the California Arts Council, Mo Rhythm School of Percussion will enhance communities through free concerts promoting diversity in salsa music, by performing as an all female salsa band “Sabrosas Latin Orchestra”, and mentor the next generation of female artists. Salsa is one of the most male dominated music genres. By some estimates only 10% of salsa artists are female (mostly singers) so there are limited opportunities for young artists to experience mentorship or leadership from women in this genre. We provide mentorship and work experience to students considering a career in music, through partnership with local high schools and colleges. We also perform at benefit concerts for other nonprofits and organizations who support underserved and latino communities. The grant will cover artists fees, original music creation, sound management, and the mentorship program.
