Capital One City Parks Foundation SummerStage Anywhere has launched a live stream series with Amazon Music. This new series features the expansion of digital programming into an eight-week digital series on Amazon Music’s Twitch Channel. On Tuesday September 1, 7pm ET, the Series will feature Solidarity For Sanctuary, featuring a Latinx lineup that includes Carla Morrison, iLe, Alaina Castillo, Lido Pimienta, Combo Chimbita, Nitty Scott, Kaina, and Linda Diaz.

The SummerStage Anywhere Amazon Music series will include exclusive 90-minute performances every Tuesday at 7:00PM EST through October 13th from artists in genres that deeply represent New York and SummerStage (Hip-Hop, Latin, Global, Jazz).

Solidarity for Sanctuary is an organization that started as a series of benefit concerts in 2017 founded by artist manager and activist Doris Muñoz to raise funds for her family’s immigration fees. Sanctuary has now grown into an organization that continues to uplift the immigrant and BIPOC community by amplifying the voices of immigrant communities through the power of music, advocacy, and the arts.
