Cha Wa offers a euphoric celebration of New Orleans' rich heritage. With songs that resonate with the ongoing fight for liberation, Cha Wa's music, described by Popmatters as "a grand gumbo of singing, intoxicating rhythms, and deep funk grooves," invites you to experience the unstoppable energy of New Orleans. 

Like all DFS programs, this hour-long student matinee performance is free for schools to attend, though we do ask that schools make their own transportation arrangements.  If that means you might not be able to attend, let us know.  We may be able to help.  Our Perloff Memorial Bus Fund provides support for bus transportation. We often have more demand that we can accommodate; requests are filled on a first-come basis. Contact us at dfs@cap.ucla.edu for more information.
