Let’s dance: Hispanic Heritage Month begins September 15, in recognition of five Hispanic countries that declared independence that day. Honor the occasion at Celebrando Herencia Hispana, an outdoor event featuring live performances from a variety of musicians. Kadencia is a 13-piece orchestra specializing in the irresistibly danceable bomba, plena, and salsa of Puerto Rico. Lua Project is husband-and-wife duo David Berzonsky and Estela Knott, who combine the musical traditions of Mexico and the Blue Ridge to create Mexilachian music. Proceeds benefit local nonprofit Sin Barreras.
Saturday 9/18, $20-25, 7pm. IX Art Park, 522 Second St. SE., ixartpark.org.
