Making Movies, Making Music
By Jamie Kauffold | Oct. 18, 2025
Latin Grammy-nominated ensemble Making Movies—which NPR calls “sensual, smoky, and seductive”—visits the City Opera House in Traverse City Saturday, Oct. 25, at 7pm. Founded by Enrique Chi and rooted in the traditions of Panama, this band represents a melting pot of Black and Latino culture. A filmmaker and activist, Chi is producing AMERI'KANA TV, a National Endowment for the Arts-funded documentary series that explores an alternate history of American music. The group has also championed the conversation around music as medicine. Tickets range from $10-$60. cityoperahouse.org/makingmovies
