Featuring Noël Quintana & The Latin Crew
Join the Carnegie Museum of Art for an evening of celebration, where we highlight the importance of honoring heritage while cultivating environments that are inclusive and affirming. Through collaboration across generations and cultures, Respira offers a vibrant expression of Latine artistry rooted in both tradition and contemporary experience.
The evening features Puerto Rican percussionist Noël Quintana & The Latin Crew. Noël Quintana, also known as “Mr. Conga,” is a renowned bandleader, educator, and cultural historian, whose work has preserved and promoted Afro-Caribbean music traditions for decades.
Respira’s mission is to create immersive events celebrating Latine identity through music, culture, and community. Organizing and curating these events are Colombian artist Oscar Celedon and Dominican creative Juan “Gusto” Lafontaine. Together, they craft spaces that honor Latine identity while centering joy, safety, and connection.
