Radaid is one of Mexico´s most successful fusion bands. On September 9, they will appear in concert at the Levitt Pavilion as part of UDGLA´s cultural program.
The Mexican fusion band Radaid, known for their contemporary mixture of world music styles, will appear in concert on September 9 at 7:30 p.m. at the Levitt Pavilion (2230 West 6th Street), located in McArthur Park in west-central Los Angeles.
The concert is being presented as part of the University of Guadalajara's cultural program in Los Angeles, University of Guadalajara at Los Angeles (UDGLA), in coordination with Cultura UDG and the Levitt Pavilion. The show is part of a series of summer concerts which are being supported and organized by a non-profit organization called Friends of the Levitt Pavilion – MacArthur Park, which makes different kinds of cultural entertainment events available to people all ages free of charge.
Radaid fuses music from Arabic cultures, India, Mexico, Africa, China, the Americas, the Balkans and other regions. Using electronic and electro-acoustic sounds and western, ethnic and traditional instrumentation, they break through the barriers of space and time to find the common ground that exists between the world´s cultures, using music as a language which can unite us all.
The band covers a diverse range of musical styles including bel canto, patriotic Mexican songs, minimalism, trip hop, indie rock, electronic and even ethereal music, which provides a western flavor and rounds out their signature sound. Radaid has achieved success as a group thanks to the acceptance and support of its loyal fan base. They have remained popular by performing concerts, working with important Mexican and foreign musicians and promoting their albums Radaid and Luz Escondida both in Mexico and abroad.
Radaid was formed in 1998 when Saúl Ledesma and Emmanuel Macías took a Celtic musical scale as a starting point to research and experiment with music from different cultures. They developed their own form and style and went on to diversify their instrumentation and compose their own music. What began with an acoustic guitar, violin and eclectic percussion section has turned into an eight-piece ensemble which skillfully intertwines a number of musical textures.
Friends of the Levitt Pavilion – MacArthur Park, the organizers of this concert, believe that the arts can help to build stronger communities and open lines of communication between cultures, inspiring young people and enriching lives in the process.
