Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month with Tres Souls at UFPA
Join UFPA in celebrating Hispanic Heritage month by getting tickets to see the beloved Los Angeles trio, Tres Souls, at the Phillips Center September 21st at 7 and 9 p.m..
For the last 13 years Rocio Mendoza, Roberto Carlos, and Jesus Martinez have serenaded audiences in LA and beyond, with their own interpretations of a genre called “Bolero.” Each member of the trio is an accomplished musician, and each inherited the knowledge and importance of Mexican heritage music through their family and generations before them.Jesus Martinez graduated from Berklee College of Music, Roberto Carlos has classical guitar training from Los Angeles City College and started performing professionally at the age of 15. Rocio Mendoza is a professional dancer and singer who received training from the School of Performing Arts and Cultural Education in Ukiah, CA. In their own way, Tres Souls are following in the footsteps of other “Trio Romanticos”, like Eydie Gorme Y Los Panchos, Los Tres Reyes and Los Tres Ases, while interspersing musical influences that can be heard echoing throughout the diaspora of Los Angeles.
Don’t let your celebration of Hispanic heritage end in September, visit UFPA’s great line-up of Latin performance from Sergio Bernal Dance Company (flamenco from Spain, October 30th), Jose Valentino and Charlton Singleton (Latin jazz fusion, February 1st), Alex Cuba (Cuban singer/songwriter, March 28th), and Las Guaracheras (Colombian salsa, April 10th).
