Cal State Fullerton welcomes Poncho Sanchez to the Meng Concert Hall stage.
The Celebración de Cal State Fullerton: "¡Somos Titans! (We are Titans)" event was created to both celebrate and generate vital funding to continue our life-changing Latinx Student Scholarships and Support Programs. "Somos Titans" will include a pre-concert sponsor fiesta at Golleher Alumni House with entertainment, food, and beverages celebrating the tapestry of cultures of CSUF Latinx students, followed by a concert performance by Poncho Sanchez.
About the Artist
For more than three decades, conguero (conga player), Poncho Sanchez has stirred up a fiery stew of straight-ahead jazz, gritty soul music, and infectious melodies and rhythms from a variety of Latin American and South American sources.
Born in Laredo, Texas, in 1951 to a large Mexican-American family, Sanchez grew up in a suburb of Los Angeles, where he was raised on an unusual cross-section of sounds that included straight-ahead jazz, Latin jazz and American soul. Along the way, he taught himself to play guitar, flute, drums, and timbales, but eventually settled on the congas.
After more than two decades in music, Sanchez’s efforts paid off when his album Latin Soul received a Grammy award as Best Latin Album of 1999. Cal State Fullerton is honored to welcome Poncho Sanchez to the Meng Concert Hall stage.
