8pm Pop Music
Lyle Lovett weathered some emotional lumps during his short-lived marriage to Julia Roberts, which may have helped him rebound from the physical ones he got in March after being trampled by a bull on his uncle's farm in suburban Houston. Bruises physical or emotional are what Lovett deals with most astutely in his consistently wry and insightful country-soul music.
Lyle Lovett, the Grove of Anaheim, 2200 E. Katella Ave. 8 p.m. $62 to $67.50. (714) 712-2700.

7:30pm World Music
Africa and the New World have been tossing rhythms back and forth for centuries, and the beat goes on at the Hollywood Bowl in "African Heart/Latin Soul," part of this summer's World Music Series. Hugh Masekela's soulful trumpet provides the African heart, with pianist Eddie Palmieri adding the soul via a Nuyorican blend of jazz, pop and salsa. Ozomatli varies the menu with its eclectic Latin rhythms, and Yerba Buena tops off the evening with a set of simmering Afro-beat Cuban pop.
Yerba Buena Ensemble, Ozomatli, Hugh Masekela and Eddie Palmieri in "African Heart/Latin Soul," Hollywood Bowl, 2301 N. Highland Ave., Hollywood. 7:30 p.m. $1 to $93. (323) 850-2000.
