We joined Neil Young, Beck, and Lana Del Rey at the Harvest Moon Gathering on Saturday, October 25, 2025 to support our great friends at the Painted Turtle in Lake Hughes CA. Several thousand attendees enjoyed music on this picture perfect day. Several of us almost fainted on stage. Thank you April Tani, Katie Griffin, and Lou Alder for having us on the bill. We had a great time!
Masanga Marimba Closes Out LA County Holiday Celebration!
We were chosen from over 100 entries to perform for the 65th Annual LA County Holiday Celebration, sponsored by the Music Center at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion on Christmas Eve, 2024. We were scheduled to play to last but because the show was running a little late we ended up closing out the celebration (apologies to our good friends Makina Loca). See our performance here:
Waka Waka, from our newest Record, "Shakanaka"
