Watts Towers Day of the Drum
Little did Simon Rodia know when he purchased the triangular lot on East 107th Street and began construction on the masterpiece he called "Nuestro Pueblo" (Our Town) that it would become one of the most treasured sites in Southern California, revered for its singular vision and beauty. In the context of this unique monument to the human spirit, the City of Los Angeles Cultural Affairs Department and Friends of the Watts Towers Arts Center present the 21st Annual Day of the Drum, a celebration of international percussion featuring Japanese, African, jazz, Native American, and other drummers. A spirited event for all ages.
