ABOUT:

"With all the madness happening in the world right now, lets come together to feel inspired and heal through music to refuel our spirits for creating a brighter future."

This will be a very special night with LoCura making its long-awaited return to La Peña to share their unique sound, Califas Flamenkito. Opening the night, Dos Bandoleros brings their original Rumba Flamenca vibes. La Peña will have an open dance floor with limited seats around the perimeter to accommodate everyone. Plan your night out with a pre-show dinner at Los Cilantros (open at 5:30pm) with beer, wine and sangria available throughout the night.

• Melissa Cruz - drums+flamenco dance

• Bob San - flamenco+electric guitars
• Katiana Vilá - vocals+percussion
• Luna Vacarro Fuentes - guitar, vocals+percussion

With four powerhouse women at the helm, LoCura's live shows are a soul-stirring punk-edged party mixing cajon-driven rhythms with multilingual lyrics reflecting the Bay Area's unique intersection of cultures. ~Ana Tijoux meets Manu Chao with a touch of Lhasa~

LoCura has traveled the world, featuring in tours and festivals, sharing stages with Macy Gray, Bombino, La Cuneta Son Machin, Ziggy Marley, Beats Antique and Nortec Collective. In the Bay Area, they have billed with Ozomatli, Ana Tijoux, Sergio Mendes, Celso Piña, La Santa Cecilia, Bomba Estereo and have headlined sold-out shows at San Francisco's premier venues, The Great American Music Hall and The Independent.

Press:

“Rooted in flamenco music, LoCura fuses elements of punk, funk, reggae and Cuban son to create a sound that’s as urgent — and exhilarating — as the politics of resistance they embrace.”- WASHINGTON POST

“[LoCura] crashes through stylistic barricades with a kinetic blend of ska, son, funk and nueva canción. It's party music for the revolution (or a musical uprising looking for a party).” – The San Francisco Chronicle

“LoCura-stylistic globetrotters who blend elements of rock and funk with hefty doses of Latin rhythms and sounds from even further afield.” - National Geographic World Music Top Pick

----------------

DOS BANDOLEROS Quartet:

Feel the heat with this Spanish Quartet as they bring back their fiery flamenco rumba sounds, infused with a Latin twist. It’s an authentic, pulse-pounding performance that redefines traditional rhythms.
