The National Museum of the American Indian and the National Museum of the American Latino invite you to celebrate the return of the ancestors with a special Día de los Muertos concert featuring the Grammy award-winning band Quetzal. Quetzal is a bilingual rock group with roots in the cultural and social justice landscape of East Los Angeles. Its goal is to create great music that tells the stories of marginalized people's struggles and resistance.

Musical director Martha Gonzalez and writer Virginia Grise chronicle the process of adapting Helena María Viramontes’ epic novel Their Dogs Came with Them in a medium security women’s prison and the site-specific staging of the play under the I-19 Freeway with a community cast of scholars, organizers and actors. Directed by Kendra Ware, this performance lecture includes live music by members of the band Quetzal.

Grammy award-winning band, Quetzal, headlining this year's sold-out, Gala at the end of Latinx Heritage Month on October 15th. Also performing that evening will be the Mariachi Las Catrinas group! It's going to be an exciting night!
