Garden Vibes: Guabaza

Wednesday, August 19, 2026, 6 p.m., East Lawn

Guabaza is a high-energy Buffalo-based ensemble that brings a vibrant sound to every performance. The group crafts a rich musical experience by blending the rhythms of Caribbean music with the sophisticated harmonies of Latin, jazz, and the soulful grit of blues.

Whether they are reimagining classics or exploring original grooves, Guabaza’s music is a celebration of global traditions. Featuring a powerhouse lineup of local favorites—including Harrison Graser on keys, vocalists Alex McArthur and Michael DeLano, and a driving rhythm section led by drummer Damone Jackson, bassist Brian de Jesus and percussionist Michael Ruopoli—their performances are a rhythmic journey that invites audiences to move, listen, and connect.

Gates open at 5 p.m.; Concert begins at 6 p.m.
No rain date. Look to the website and social media for cancellation information.
