The Mosesian Center for the Arts will presents two outdoor concerts featuring the sounds, dance and culture of Latin America this summer. See more information provided by the MCA, below.
This summer, no passport is required to experience the rhythms, flavors, and vibrant traditions of Latin America. The Mosesian Center for the Arts is proud to launch Fiesta Saturdays, a new outdoor concert series celebrating Latin music, dance, and culture on the MCA lawn.
Taking place on Saturday, July 11 and Saturday, August 8, Fiesta Saturdays transforms the Mosesian lawn into a lively open-air gathering place filled with live music, dance instruction, food and beverages, and community connection.
Audiences are invited to bring lawn chairs or blankets, settle in under the summer sky, and enjoy an evening that feels like a vacation without leaving Watertown.
“Fiesta Saturdays is about joy, discovery, and bringing people together,” said Aliana de la Guardia, Executive Director of the Mosesian Center for the Arts. “Whether you’re dancing for the first time, sharing a meal with friends, or simply enjoying incredible music outdoors, these evenings offer a chance to experience the warmth and energy of Latin culture right here in our community.”
The inaugural series features Flamenco Boston on July 11 and Los Mambiseros on August 8, alongside dance instruction and opportunities for audiences of all ages to participate in the celebration. Designed to be affordable and welcoming to newcomers and longtime arts patrons alike, Fiesta Saturdays aims to create an annual summer tradition that reflects the diversity and vibrancy of Greater Boston.

Featured Artists
Flamenco Boston was founded in 2007 by Lauren O’Donnell with the mission of sharing the art of flamenco throughout New England. Through performances, educational programs, workshops, and community events, the organization has worked to connect audiences and students with this incredible art form.
Flamenco originated in the cultural crossroads of southern Spain, drawing influence from Andalusian, Moorish, Sephardic Jewish, and Romani traditions. Today, Flamenco Boston collaborates with artists from Boston, New York City, across the Northeast, and Spain. Under the direction of guitarist Anthony Tiriti Tran, the organization presents a variety of programming, including performances, lecture demonstrations, school programs, and workshops for audiences of all ages.
Flamenco Boston has appeared at theaters, libraries, museums, universities, festivals, and community spaces throughout the region, including the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, the Museum of Fine Arts, MIT, Harvard University, Northeastern University, and Boston University.
Each performance brings together a unique combination of musicians, singers, and dancers, reflecting the collaborative and improvisational spirit at the heart of flamenco. (flamencoboston.com)
Los Mambiseros is a Boston-based Traditional Cuban Music and Fusion project led by Cuban-American artist Christopher Carlos Montejo. The project’s mission is to share and celebrate Cuba’s folkloric culture, music, and dance. The group is a flexible trio-to-septet ensemble that focuses on traditional Cuban music, including Son, Rumba, Bolero, Changüí, Danzón, Cha-Cha-Cha, as well as experimental jazz and salsa.
“Mambiseros” is a playful spelling of “mambíses,” the revolutionary guerrilla fighters from the Cuban Wars of Independence. The mambíses were a grassroots, freedom-fighting force represented and led by Caribbeans of diverse racial and social backgrounds. The project spans time and aligns with the decolonial, international, and rebellious spirit of being “mambí.” (ccmontejo.com)
