Live @ The Ford
Live @ the Ford presents four live performances that celebrate the ways in which music and dance can cross boundaries and bring diverse audiences together. The celebration of border cowboy and vaquero culture by Grandeza Mexicana; the marriage of east and west through the music of Korea's Haegum Plus and dance crew Last for One; the language of hip-hop to spread a message of peace around the globe and the phrasing of Jazz to embed musical ancestries from India and Armenia, all come together to create a multi-ethnic and multi-generational live performance TV series, exploring the new face of Los Angeles.
