Get ready for an unforgettable afternoon at this year’s Pour Your HeART Out Benefit for the Arts! Enjoy live music, savor delicious bites from Alameda’s amazing local eateries, sip on fine wines and craft beverages, dance to irresistible beats, and support arts education for Alameda County youth! This year’s event features a dynamic lineup of world-class performers, headlined by the electrifying Maze Daiko, an Alameda-based ensemble known for blending Japanese taiko with global rhythms—from African marimba and djembe to Persian santur and Brazilian percussion. Their powerful, genre-defying sound has earned them recognition as true pioneers of contemporary taiko. You’ll also experience the vibrant sounds of AZA, whose music fuses traditional North African Tamazight styles with global influences. With rich rhythms, intricate melodies, and soulful vocals, AZA delivers performances that are as visually captivating as they are musically compelling.
