Bob Athayde is a musician, performer and educator. Yet his greatest contribution to Lafayette is his ability to lead all of us to try new things, take chances, work together and most of all enjoy music.
Every great community has a couple of key people, places or history that helps them define themselves. In the beautiful suburb know as Lafayette, Ca. there is no argument that MUSIC and Bob Athayde are some of the most important pieces in the fabric of our town. For Bob its bringing kids and music together. It’s hard to be a kid in Lafayette and not be pulled into the music scene that seems to get its energy from Bob.
