Perla Batalla Performs At CSUCI
Cal State University Channel Islands kicked off what could become a series on Friday night.
Grammy-nominated Perla Batalla gave two free concerts inside Malibu Hall. Fans just had to pay for parking and make reservations.
The woman who gained fame as a backup singer for Leonard Cohen shared stories about touring, motherhood and her German and Mexican mixed heritage.
The concert was the brainchild of CI’s new part-time reference librarian Stephen Brogden. Brodgen has brought similar talent to Thousand Oaks.
He’d like to make nights like this one regular events.
A grant from an activities fund picked up the tab.
