Trybvl — Dance Africa
From the event description:
Groove to the sounds straight from the streets of Africa, the birthplace of mankind and music.

With its African roots, the sound combines the rhythmic energy from Accra, Ghana and the new GQOM sound Durban in KwaZulu Natal, South Africa. It also incorporates and fuses house, Afro house, Kwaito, tribal and deep and soulful house music.

Where: Resident, 428 S. Hewitt St.

Megaton Summer Concert Series
From the event description:
First came the world mix known as Reggaeton — well, actually first came bachata, hip hop, trap, dembow, dancehall and Latin pop. Then Luis Fonsi's breakout hit "Despacito" took over the planet. Now the hottest genre in Spanish language music is "urbano," which combines all those sounds into one trans-national groove. And this star-studded Mega 96.3FM concert brings the hottest urbano artists — like Ivy Queen ("Quiero Bailar," "Te He Querido, Te He Llorado"), J Alvarez, Sebastian Yatra and more — to the Microsoft Theater at the always hopping L.A. Live.
When: Saturday, Aug. 31, 8 p.m.
Where: Microsoft Theater, 777 Chick Hearn Court
Price: $35 - $68
