Access Culture is proud to announce the launch of its 2025 World Music Concert Series with a free, family-friendly outdoor concert at the Revere Beach Pavilion, located at 88 Revere Beach Boulevard. The first event in this dynamic seven-city series features The Blue Island Project, M’Bolo, and Grooversity—three acclaimed ensembles bringing global rhythms, rich cultural traditions, and infectious energy to Massachusetts’ most iconic shoreline.

This all-ages event will take place Saturday, July 12 from 2:00–5:00 PM, offering free parking, stunning ocean views, and top-tier music that celebrates the power of culture to connect communities. The line up is as follows:

The Blue Island Project | 2:00–2:50 PM

Led by Cuban pianist Aníbal Cruz and featuring musicians from Chile and Japan, this ensemble blends Afro-Cuban, Brazilian, Gospel, and Jazz influences into a vibrant and soulful performance.

M’Bolo | 3:00–3:50 PM

Founded by Senegalese percussionist Cheikh Ngom, M’Bolo fuses traditional Mbalax rhythms with funk and rock, delivering a powerful, danceable soundscape.

Grooversity | 4:00–4:50 PM

A multi-generational percussion movement led by Brazilian artist Marcus Santos, Grooversity blends Afro-Brazilian grooves, hip hop, funk, and Japanese taiko drumming into an interactive, high-impact show.

Each of these groups—many with ties to Berklee College of Music—showcases a unique cultural fusion rooted in deep tradition and bold innovation. RSVP not required but will subscribe you to the series and the Access Culture Mailing List.
