I was super thrilled to be able to attend my first free concert in Los Angeles last Friday. I took the bus out to famous Macarthur Park to catch Bomba Estereo at the Levitt Pavilion.

The Colombianos brought their Electro Vacilón to a nice crowd that couldn’t help but shake what their mamas gave them.

Coming from the NYC free summer concert scene there were a few things that surprised me. I expected the park to be much more crowded. My local friends assured me that the crowd was actually a good turnout.

Another thing that surprised me and reveals me as a spoiled ass NY’er, is that there is no alcohol served at the concerts, not that anyone needed any liquid courage last Friday night as Bomba Estereo’s musica as intoxicating enough.
