Two more free outdoor concerts are planned for UNM main campus this summer, following the success of the Staff Appreciation Concert held June 10. On Friday, July 8, noon to 1 p.m., the band Racin Kreol will play festive island music. They are a six-piece World Beat band specializing in the music of Africa and the Caribbean. Band members are from Haiti, Nigeria, Colombia and the USA. Lead guitarist Mario De La Huerga is a UNM employee at the College of Fine Arts.
A yet-to-be-announced jazz quartet will perform on Friday, August 12.
Concerts are held at the University Honors plaza, southeast of the SUB. Free refreshments are being negotiated, so bring your Lobo card to qualify. Sunscreen and protective clothing are recommended.
Concerts are made possible through funding from the Office of Institutional Advancement and are supported by the UNM Staff Council and its Work+Life Committee.
