News from Metro@Compton: A Dinner Celebration with Ancient and Contemporary Mexican-American Music

The residents of The Metro @ Compton Senior Apartments in Compton, CA, always enjoy the monthly birthday celebration. This month, in appreciation, all residents were welcomed by EngAGE staff for a complete Mexican meal, light refreshments, a birthday cake, and gift card raffles. Special guest Martin Espino, a Mexican-American musician and composer of indigenous Yaqui and Tepehuano ancestry, performed, telling origin stories and playing native musical instruments. Residents joined in the music-making fun by playing along with instruments provided by Martin.

EngAGE changes lives by transforming affordable senior and multigenerational apartment communities into vibrant centers of learning, wellness, and creativity.
