Drawing influence from Mariachi, Mexican Cinema, American Bluegrass, Magical Realism and the Mexican Corrido (story-ballad) tradition, Rana Santacruz tells stories of magical worlds through his multifaceted and unique sound. Born and raised in Mexico City, Rana first found success there in the late ‘90s with his alt-rock band La Catrina. But when the group failed to score a radio hit, Rana turned his back on a major label-record deal to release his own music on his own terms, and moved to Brooklyn in 2002. With access to world-renowned musicians and a large talent pool, Rana released his solo debut, Chicavasco, in 2010. Chicavasco put the critics on notice, and won him a coveted Tiny Desk Concert on NPR Music. Free with admission to the grounds. Special evening admission starts at 4PM. $12 general adult admission; $8 student and seniors 65+; $6 children ages six+. Purchase admission online by 4pm day of event and save $2.

Ambient, experimental, New-Age sound pioneer Laraaji takes us on a listening journey to deeply relaxing and inspiring live sound realms, featuring the innovative sound of electric zither, soaring vocals and nature sounds. In the early 1970s, Laraaji’s music, life and career shifted after he started studying Eastern mysticism and took a zither he purchased in a pawn shop and converted it into an electric instrument. From there, his experimentations grew and by the late 1970s, Laraaji started busking with his new sound on the sidewalks of New York. Brian Eno discovered Laraaji in Washington Square Park and released “Ambient 3: Day of Radiance,” the third installment of Brian Eno’s Ambient Series. Today, Laraaji is a pioneer in composing works for meditation, deep listening and experimentalism. Free with admission to the grounds. Special evening admission to the grounds starts at 4PM. $12 general adult admission; $8 student and seniors 65+; $6 children ages six+. Purchase admission online by 4PM day of event and save $2.
