Free Concert: Roka Hueka and Inspector at Levitt Pavilion
First up: Grab tickets to the latest edition of Levitt Pavilion's Free Concert Series. Friday evening's rain-or-shine show features two Latin Ska bans: Roka Hueka and Inspector.
With its six members hailing from Mexico, El Salvador and the US — and boasting backgrounds in Latin-fusion, hip-hop, jazz, pit orchestra and Middle Eastern music — Roka Hueka plays traditional and contemporary Latin ska.
And from Nuevo Leon, Mexico, Inspector fuses Jamaican rhythms with Mexican pop to offer a blend of ska, reggae and '60s-nostalgic rock-n-roll.
When: Friday, August 31, 6-10 p.m.
Where: Levitt Pavilion Denver, 1380 W. Florida Ave.
Admission: Free general admission; $30 VIP
