Continuing the Latino Tradition. At Channing Peake Gallery. Shows through July 20.

For the artists in Continuing the Latino Tradition, a group exhibition at the Channing Peake Gallery curated by longtime Santa Barbara teacher Ditti Wolff, tradition is a slippery term. Wolff has brought together a diverse and impressive array of contemporary artists living and working in California, all of whom explore the meaning of “Latino tradition” by probing, questioning, and reworking the images and iconic symbols of Latino heritage.

The Los Angeles music scene likes to pompously claim the festival as a late spring playground, although the L.A. connection has diminished lately.

LUCKY CHARMER: It’s rare for an artist to come along whose music entices from the very beginning. But from the moment Derren Raser‘s harmonious acoustic guitar strumming and charmingly friendly lyrics hit your eardrums, you’ll be sucked in. With a blend of indie rock and folk pop, Raser pleases the ear with catchy tunes like “Letter Never Sent” and “Crazy Crazy.”
