Kennedy Center, 2700 F Street, NW, Washington, DC 20566. Bring your lawn chairs for a warm

from salsa to soukous, with an occasional merengue or
Afro-Portuguese excursion. The opening acts are New Orleans jazz sensation
Stephanie Jordan and up-and-coming vocalist Algebra, who can easily be pop,
rock, rap, funk, or crunk, yet she can breathe ballads effortlessly.
