Join UW Public Lectures for an evening of community-inspired music with the relentlessly innovative, bi-lingual, Chicano Grammy award-winning rock band, Quetzal. Together they will celebrate the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. with a band that narrates the social, cultural and political stories of humanity.

Quetzal is a relentlessly innovative Grammy award-winning ensemble that narrates the social, cultural and political stories of humanity. Emerging out of the 1992 Los Angeles Uprising along with social movement efforts against Proposition 187 campaign (that denied medical and public services to undocumented immigrants and public education to undocumented children) these students of Chicano rock, rhythm and blues, JB funk, Cuban batá, punk, and Motown soul are artists at the epicenter of the transnational world of son jarocho.
