The inaugural Sounds of California concert took place at the Oakland Museum of California, where we explored the themes of our State’s diverse population where through the lens of immigration and migration. This Sounds of California concert was co-presented by Alliance for California Traditional Arts, Radio Bilingue and Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage in partnership with the Oakland Museum of California at James Moore Theater in the Oakland Museum on December 6, 2015.
