RE: Encanto Sunset Concert – Help us Make a Splash in Othello!
Greetings:
Wafla is excited to present for the first time, the Encanto Sunset Concert to Othello taking
place at Lion’s Park on July 29, 2017 to honor wafla founder Jon Warling and celebrate the
agricultural workforce! Wafla is taking this opportunity to present this community concert to
honor the people who work hard and share a love of agriculture. We applaud Jon, a longtime
employer of thousands of farm laborers, principal founder of wafla, and generous supporter of ag
and his community. In addition, we dedicate this special concert to celebrate farmworkers.
Through a strong work ethic and determination to achieve a better life, farmworkers provide an
effective labor force that powers the ag industry.
“Encanto”, a highly acclaimed 2-hour production featuring native son, and opera tenor, Jose
Iniguez, will be the first of its kind to be held in Othello. Jose, one of eleven siblings, was born in
Othello and raised by migrant field worker parents in the Mattawa area. He attributes his farm
upbringing as instrumental to his success on stage. From the orchards of Mattawa Jose developed
a profound love for two very distinct styles of music: classical opera, and traditional Mexican
mariachi bolero. By blending these two styles, Jose and his fellow performing artists take you on
a cultural journey that pairs the ethereal beauty of opera aria, with classical piano and the charm
of mariachi bolero. This past summer Jose completed a Washington state musical tour and is
currently working with the iconic Robert Lang Studios to produce his first major recording
studio album. Through his concerts, Jose has raised over $150,000 for scholarships, art
organizations, and community groups.
Sponsors like you will share in this tribute, help support scholarships for children of
farmworkers, and the opportunity to bring this unique musical production of dancers, orchestral
performers, and solo entertainers to Othello. Limited contact with the community to date has
revealed a great excitement and anticipation for this event! We need your help. Tickets are
valued at $25 each, however we want to make tickets available to most patrons FREE
through your sponsorship. Contribution levels are set at (Platinum, Gold, Silver). Sponsors can
distribute tickets to employees, a favorite charity, church groups, or any other entity of choice.
