La Gente & LoCura live @ Boom Boom Room

Boom Boom Room , 1501 Fillmore, San Francisco, California

 Bay Area Favorites La Gente & LoCura join forces for a night of Musica, Arte y Communidad!! 
 Reggae. Cumbia. Flamenco. Hip-Hop. Ska. Salsa. Reggaeton. Rock

LoCura:
CALIFAS MESTIZO MUSIC: Direct from San Francisco’s fertile music scene, LoCura taps into the diverse
sounds that have a rich history in the Bay Area, weaving them together in an uncanny way to reveal their
common roots.  Mixing Flamenco with Reggae and Cumbia with Ska through contagious rhythms and multiple
languages, their music takes you on a ride through a day in the emerging globalized experience where the
movement of people and ideas are in constant flux.  Reflecting lead vocalist Kata’s own experience of growing
up Spanish American in Spain, Italy, and the U.S., LoCura’s music rides the borders of identity and migration
piecing together a mosaic of our myriad cultures and experiences.  In Spain the expression "Ida y Vuelta" is
used to describe certain styles within Flamenco that made a "round-trip" from Spain to Latin America, mixing
with music from the African slave and Indigenous populations. With this idea of music traveling and music as
creative resistance, LoCura takes the trip back again mixing it up with their own Califas Flamenkito, Reggae,
and Cuban Son styles. Moved by the music that crosses borders and takes root in different lands, LoCura
draws from this creative 'rebelde' spirit to cultivate the cures passed on from our ancestors.
