Get ready for a night of cultural music celebration offering a blend of jazz, pop, folk and more.
Water Street Tampa is once again hosting The Space Between on Friday at the Via Corazon plaza which welcomes Latin pop and folk musician Gina Chavez, who once played in the Bay area in 2020.
Known for her distinctive sound, innovative style, and philanthropic efforts, the 42-year-old Austin, Texas, vocalist blends experimental vocals with diverse instrumentals that seamlessly enhance every genre. Her 2020 album, La Que Manda, was nominated for a Best Pop/Rock Album Latin Grammy Award, and she’s taken home 16 Austin Music Awards.
A rep for Water Street Tampa told Creative Loafing Tampa Bay that Chavez will play in the duo format at Via Corazon.
In addition to music, Chavez and her wife founded the college fund, Niñas Arriba, to help educate young women in El Salvador, where she taught English at the Maria Auxiliadora School, a Catholic all-girls school.
Tampa’s own jazz songwriter BK Jackson alongside Root Mod’s lead singer Bianca Fitzpatrick launched the concert series last month.
