SUMMARY:Free Neighborhood Tour: Stone by Stone by Tian Gombau (Spain)
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe Puppet Festival’s annual Free Neighborhood Tour brings free\, family-friendly performances to locations outside of Chicago’s theaters to foster an appreciation for puppetry throughout the city. The tour offers a range of high-quality puppetry styles to create moments of community enjoyment while expanding the city’s base of puppet enthusiasts. The Tour once again presents two free\, family-friendly puppet shows\, this year from Spain and Baltimore\, to venues and community spaces all over the city. Stay tuned for dates\, times and locations. \n\n\n\n\n\nSpanish puppet artist Tian Gombau was walking barefoot on the beach one day when he suddenly realized there are so many stones on earth. He started to classify them and keep them as precious treasures\, thinking\, if you look at what’s inside them\, one realizes there is something more than just a stone. The result is an ingenious\, endearing\, 30-minute imagination-awakening experience for children using only inanimate objects. \n\n\n\n\n\nFor the past four years\, Segundo Ruiz Belvis Cultural Center has been proud to serve as a neighborhood partner of the Chicago International Puppet Theater Festival\, extending our mission of celebrating Afro-Caribbean and Latin arts into the world of contemporary puppetry. Together\, we’ve turned SRBCC into a welcoming stage and creative lab for local families\, youth\, and artists—hosting Free Neighborhood Tour (2023\, 2024\, 2025\, 2026) performances\, workshops\, and experimental projects like Puppet Lab (2024 and 2025) that invite emerging local puppeteers to play\, imagine\, and create. This ongoing collaboration reflects what SRBCC does best: connecting global artistry with Chicago’s neighborhood talent\, building bridges between tradition and innovation\, and ensuring that world-class experiences—whether through music\, dance\, theater\, or puppetry—are accessible to the people we serve year-round.

SUMMARY:La Cantera Feat. Richard Peña at the Hyde Park Jazz Festival
DESCRIPTION:La Cantera makes their Hyde Park Jazz Festival debut with special guest Richard Peña from Puerto Rico. \n  \nAbout Richard Peña \n“Peña is a talented and driven artist with a unique sound. In particular\, he is an excellent guitarist with a truly one-of-a-kind style which transcends genre boundaries and definitions.”\n— Jazz Corner Magazine \nGuitarist\, composer\, and educator Richard Peña is a rising force in Latin jazz\, blending Afro-Caribbean traditions with modern jazz innovation. Named Youth Jazz Ambassador by the Humacao Friends of Jazz Association\, Peña has performed internationally as a bandleader and alongside Grammy-winning artists such as Horacio “El Negro” Hernández\, Dafnis Prieto\, Henry Cole\, Richie Flores\, Charlie Sepúlveda\, Carlos Vives\, and Victor Manuelle. \nBorn and raised in Puerto Rico\, Peña began his recording career at just 15 years old as a bassist for the Guess Who Jazz Quartet\, releasing Ready For Departure (2014)\, which won Best New Production at the Fox Music USA Latin Music Awards. That same year\, he shifted his focus to jazz guitar\, leading a group that represented Puerto Rico at the Berklee High School Jazz Festival\, where they won Best Group. \nPeña studied jazz guitar at the Conservatorio de Música de Puerto Rico under the guidance of Fernando Mattina and has taken masterclasses with acclaimed musicians such as Miguel Zenón\, David Sánchez\, Vic Juris\, Rodney Jones\, and Barry Greene. His playing\, rooted in both tradition and innovation\, reflects a deep understanding of jazz harmony\, phrasing\, and Afro-Caribbean rhythmic concepts. \nHis discography showcases his evolution as an artist. His debut album\, Hey\, Don Rey! (2018)\, earned critical acclaim\, with the track Passageways receiving a nomination for Best Funk/Fusion/Jam Song at the 18th Independent Music Awards (IMA). He followed with Aguinaldo Jíbaro (2019)\, a jazz guitar trio reinterpretation of Puerto Rican classics\, recognized among the Best 20 Albums of 2019 by the National Foundation for Popular Culture. Synergy (2020)\, blending post-bop\, fusion\, and Puerto Rican jazz elements\, was nominated for Best Jazz Instrumental Album at the IMAs. His 2020 release\, Pandemik\, created in collaboration with the Institute of Puerto Rican Culture and the National Endowment for the Arts\, was praised for its artistic and emotional depth in response to the global crisis. \nBeyond performing\, Peña is a dedicated educator\, creating high-quality jazz guitar content for over 260\,000 followers across social platforms and teaching more than 2\,000 students through Patreon. His work continues to bridge tradition and innovation\, inspiring a new generation of jazz musicians.

SUMMARY:Barrio Bugalú
DESCRIPTION:BYOB (Beer and Wine Only) | Salsa Class at 6:45 pm | $10 Suggested Donation not required for admission | Complimentary Small Bite by Jibaritos on Harlem with your donation (While Supplies Last) \nAlmost two decades ago some of the most serious Latin record collectors in Chicago joined forces to play for a packed dance floor at Sonotheque as part of the Chicago World Music Festival (2007). The monthly all-vinyl Barrio Bugalú was born at one of Chicago’s top audiophile destinations. SRBCC relives Barrio Bugalú with appearances by the original host DJs (Super Barrio Brothers and Agúzate DJ Crew)\, as well as special sets by some of Chicago’s most avid vinyl selectors. \nHeld every last Friday of the month\, Barrio Bugalú is not just a dance party; it’s a celebration of history\, a tribute to the pioneers of Latin music\, and a testament to the timeless power of Afro-Caribbean rhythms to bring people together.

SUMMARY:Arts in Solidarity
DESCRIPTION:VENUE CHANGE  \nOn Friday September 5\, two days before Sunday’s “Arts In Solidarity” event\, organizers were informed that the venue Alhambra Palace had cancelled use of the venue due to perceived threats in the political climate enveloping the City of Chicago.  \nThe event organizers\, who are seasoned cultural advocates are unanimous in the decision to “go on with the show” – stating that presenting opportunities for communities to come together through the arts in times of stress\, as well as supporting fundraising for immigrant legal defense are crucial healing vehicles at this time. The benefit for the Midwest Immigrant Bond Fund has a new sense of immediacy as the weekend plans as advertised by the Whitehouse target local friends\, neighbors and co-workers.  \nThe program as announced below will continue with the same time and terms but at Segundo Ruiz Belvis Cultural Center (SRBCC). \nABOUT THE EVENT  \nAn ad-hoc volunteer collective of local arts presenters and advocates has come together to raise funds for legal defense and to speak out against the ongoing persecution of our family\, friends\, and neighbors by law enforcement agencies—often without due process. This group has curated a powerful event featuring cultural voices from across the community. All proceeds will support legal expenses resulting from detentions and prosecutions. \nParticipating artists confirmed to date are: \nCarpacho Y Su Super Combo\, Los Pleneros De Don Segundo\, Surabhi Ensemble\, Afrocolombian Band “Epa!”\, D.J. Damon Locks \nLuis Tubens – Emcee\, Speakers: Aislinn Pulley\, Jorge Mujica\, Alejandra Oliva\, and Sen. Graciela Guzman  \nThe organizers bring together this international chorus of voices to express solidarity with people targeted by ICE and other para-military forces. \nWe are alarmed by the attacks and the ongoing psychological and physical trauma they cause\, and seek to assist in adequately fighting the mounting legal battles immigrants are facing. \nThe program will raise funds for The Midwest Immigration Bond Fund  \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \nDuring the event\, speakers will provide information on how you can help and a literature table will include education info\, “Know Your Rights”\, and other useful resources. \nThe organizers of the concert have donated their labor to create this event. The money raised above event production expenses will directly support the beneficiaries. The event is ticketed with a minimum suggested donation of $25 but no one will be turned away for lack of funds. \nThe event is open to all ages with parental supervision. \nThe non-profit concert producers are also accepting donations from event sponsors to offset the production expenses via HotHouse.   \n  \nABOUT THE ARTISTS  \nLOS PLENEROS DE DON SEGUNDO \nBorn at the Segundo Ruiz Belvis Cultural Center (SRBCC)\, Los Pleneros de Don Segundo have been performing original plena music in Chicago since 2016.

Ecos del Pacifico focuses on the Pacific cost sounds of Currulao\, one of the most African influenced-styles in all of Colombia\, The music is centered around a drum known as a “cununo”\, which superficially resembles the “alegre” drum (used in Cumbia)\, and a shaker known in parts of Colombia as a “guasá” or “guache”\, and Colombian marimba\, a wooden xylophone which resembles the African balafon. \nDAMON LOCKS featured DJ \nDamon Locks is a Chicago-based visual artist\, educator\, vocalist/musician and DJ.

SUMMARY:Barrio Bugalú welcomes Daniel Díaz and Alexander López
DESCRIPTION:BYOB (Beer and Wine Only) | Salsa Class with Lisa La Boriqua at 6:45 pm | $10 Suggested Donation not required for admission | Complimentary Small Bite with your donation (While Supplies Last) \nAlmost two decades ago some of the most serious Latin record collectors in Chicago joined forces to play for a packed dance floor at Sonotheque as part of the Chicago World Music Festival (2007). The monthly all-vinyl Barrio Bugalú was born at one of Chicago’s top audiophile destinations. SRBCC relives Barrio Bugalú with appearances by the original host DJs (Super Barrio Brothers and Agúzate DJ Crew)\, as well as special sets by some of Chicago’s most avid vinyl selectors. \nHeld every last Friday of the month\, Barrio Bugalú is not just a dance party; it’s a celebration of history\, a tribute to the pioneers of Latin music\, and a testament to the timeless power of Afro-Caribbean rhythms to bring people together. \nSpecial Guest: Daniel Díaz & Alexander López \nPuerto Rican artist Daniel Díaz was born with rhythm in his hands. It is his rhythm and his hands that have made him a one-of-a-kind artist—just like his musical invention known as El Tripandero. This ingenious creation\, conceived by Daniel in 2010\, combines the rhythm of the three hand drums (panderos) that produce the sound of traditional Puerto Rican plena into a single instrument. \nAlongside René Pérez “Residente\,” Daniel has performed on stages in over 57 countries\, showcasing to the world both his creativity and the musical power of his Tripandero. This young percussionist\, arranger\, and composer has also collaborated with a wide range of musical stars\, including Calle 13\, Shakira\, Ricky Martin\, Carlos Vives\, Ricardo Montaner\, Mon Laferte\, Bad Bunny\, Giovanni Hidalgo\, Diego El Cigala\, El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico\, Ismael Miranda… and has performed on global platforms such as the 2017 Latin Grammys\, hundreds of festivals around the world—including Austin City Limits—and Cirque du Soleil by Lionel Messi. \nhttps://segundoruizbelvis.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Untitled-design-4.mp4\nTickets

SUMMARY:Papo Santiago and La Cantera
DESCRIPTION:La Cantera bring their Latin Jazz and Salsa series to the parks with special guest Papo Santiago. \nPapo Santiago has been a driving force in the Chicago salsa scene for decades\, both as an instrumentalist and as a world-class sonero. Santiago started his musical journey in his native Puerto Rico\, where he was recruited by La Terrífica in the early 1970s to play baritone saxophone. The band’s international acclaim paved the way for Santiago’s incursion into the world of salsa. In the 80s Santiago moved to Chicago\, where he carved a niche for himself and mastered the flute\, guitar\, and his own vocal improvisational skills. In his improvisations\, Santiago combines a street-wise sense of humor with a unique approach to rhythm and swing. Santiago is also the founder and leader of Infraverde\, considered by Timba.com “as one of the more polished and progressive Salsa ensembles in Chicago in recent years.”
