- 4:30 PM2hMusic, Race & Social Justice Visiting Artist Series: Daniel French, storytellerDaniel French is a storyteller, multi-instrumentalist, producer, and performer known for his unique mix of traditional sounds with modern frequencies. As a founding member of LA’s renowned Las Cafeteras, he’s performed on stages from Bonnaroo to the Hollywood Bowl and beyond. Singing and rapping in three languages (English, Spanish, and Mohawk), his electric performances move minds & behinds. His hooky call-and-response anthems activate audiences of all ages.
