La Gente SF

"Your ancestors outnumber your fears. Embrace your power.
You have generations of momentum behind you"

-Rafael Bustamante Sarria

After years of the Elbo Room and the Mission Community fighting
greedy, gentrifying developers from ending this San Francisco institution,
Elbo Room will officially be closing its doors on January 1st 2019 to make
way for more overpriced condos for the 1%. This is a huge blow to the
San Francisco music scene and the Mission community. Elbo has been the
home base for LA GENTE SF since we first began. Some of my favorite
musical moments and greatest memories have been on that stage. So
in honor of the millions of events, performances, concerts, protests,
fundraisers and madness: LA GENTE SF & The Afrofunk Experience,
DJ Miggy Stardust, Versoul, Watzreal, Jillian Picazo and many more
artists, Mc's, Dancers and poets will be having one last dance party
at Elbo on Sunday November 18th. It will feature all the lunacy,
creativity and community the Bay Area has to offer. Lets give a
proper send off to one of the greatest music venues San Francisco
has ever known. Shout out to Matt Shapiro for his years of cultivating
community, music, performances, art and artists in SF. And a
reminder to go to  Elbo Room Oakland (331 Broadway) 
and to book your events there!
