KCRW Summer Nights returns with a slate of free, all-ages live music and DJ events throughout Southern California.

The 20th anniversary of Afro Funke’, headed by Rocky Dawuni and Buyepongo, highlights the live music offerings. Ozomatli, Jungle Fire, Pearl & the Oysters, Rogê, Steady Holiday, Jackie Mendoza and Abraham Alexander are among the artists performing live in the series.
