#FLODown: Legendary Mexican jazz artist Tino Contreras is set to perform the first-ever streamed concert from the home of iconic artist Frida Kahlo the Casa Azul, which is also home to the flagship museum dedicated to the iconic artist’s life and work. The globally streamed event, produced by La Linea, who usually put on a great Latin music festival across London, will be in celebration of both Contreras’ dynamic contribution to jazz and his 97th birthday.

During Covid 19 The Frida Kahlo Museum has lost all income from admissions, so there is an opportunity to make a donation to the museum when purchasing a ticket and during the stream.
About the Frida Kahlo Museum
Inside the Frida Kahlo Museum, also known as the Blue House, the artist’s personal belongings are exhibited, as well as memories of the life that she lived there with Diego Rivera. Original paintings by Kahlo, Rivera and their friends; a collection of Mexican folk art, handicrafts, pre-Columbian pieces and Mexican regional textiles; as well as photographs, documents, books and furniture are all showcased. The beautiful garden is an essential part of the Blue House, and crossing it leads to the internationally acclaimed exhibition of Frida Kahlo's dresses.
