Grammy Award-winners Snarky Puppy, Silvana Estrada, Gaby Moreno, Silvia Pérez Cruz, and Fuensanta bring the audience to their feet during a sold out show at the Kennedy Center’s Concert Hall honoring Afro-Peruvian icon Susana Baca’s music.

Snarky Puppy, the acclaimed Grammy Award-winning band, brings their genre breaking sound to a sold out show at the Kennedy Center’s Concert Hall. When one of the main guest artists, Afro-Peruvian icon Susana Baca, falls ill the band quickly come up with a new plan to transform the concert into a loving tribute to her music and influence. Joined on stage by stars from several Spanish-speaking countries: Silvana Estrada (Mexico), Gaby Moreno (Guatemala), Silvia Pérez Cruz (Spain), and Fuensanta (Mexico) - they perform a special “Family Dinner”-style concert playing their own songs along with Susana’s. The episode begins in Princeton, NJ as the artists hold their first rehearsal with less than three days before they must perform in Washington DC. Guided by bandleader Michael League, we see how the concert comes together before they bring the audience to their feet at this once in a lifetime musical event. Along the way we hear about the band's early inspirations, their drive to collaborate, their love of Suzana’s music and their dedication to creating an expansive international musical community.
