Dorian Wood: Canto (Versión Juanga)

Doors at 7:30PM Performance begins at 8:00PM $15 / sliding scale : [Friday Tickets](https://pools.events/t/emx8jswl/) – [Saturday Tickets](https://pools.events/t/bposvq6l/) Dorian Wood returns to Human Resources for two nights only with an immersive performance that interweaves music from her newly-released album _Canto de Todes_ (New Amsterdam Records) with iconic songs by the legendary singer/composer Juan Gabriel. Loved by millions around the world, El Divo de Juárez has left an undeniable imprint on our collective consciousness. Says Wood: “Growing up in South L.A. in the 80’s, Juanga’s music was the air we breathed, always on the radio, on TV, drifting in the air at picnics in MacArthur Park, backyard birthday parties, bake sales at Plaza de la Raza, and soothing us to sleep from the living room while our parents stayed up. No other artist has achieved this kind of omnipresence. I want my brief return to L.A. this year to convey these memories, and this honoring of Juanga, de toda corazón.” Wood’s own composition _Canto de Todes_–Spanish for “Song of Everyone”–is a mutating project that began as a touring 12-hour work and was released in May 2026 as a 70-minute album that weaves together chamber classical, folk, torch song, and experimental music. _Canto de Todes_ emphasizes the urgency of music as a vessel for social change, and simultaneously honors the ancestral trajectory of Wood’s Costa Rican-Nicaraguan family in the U.S.
