   About LoCura
SPAIN. CUBA. JAMAICA. CALIFORNIA. This extraordinary group of musicians mixes grooves and melodies from Flamenco, Reggae, Cuban Son, and North American Folk. To the stage they bring the mysterious and passionate world of Flamenco, combined with the driving, full sound of a salsa band. LoCura creates an original blend of irresistible, high energy music that bridges cultures and transcends borders. Mesmerizing flamenco footwork and solid bass lines, fiery guitar and hard-hitting percussion support rich vocals with soaring harmonies, creating a vibrant collage of sound and movement. Emotionally charged music that ignites a pulsating dance party, provides food for the soul and uplifts the spirit...a sound track to feeling alive!------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LoCura is one of the hottest groups emerging out of the Bay Area music scene. Over the past three years they have lived and performed in Spain and Morocco, toured throughout California and the West Coast, and performed at music festivals with international artists including Ojos de Brujo (Spain) • Bunny Wailer (Jamaica) • Nawal (Comoros) • Les Nubians (France) • Toots & the Maytals (Jamaica) • Sean Hayes (San Francisco) • Rupa (San Francisco) • Carlihnos Brown (Brazil).----------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Locura...one word: madness. Separated into two, lo cura: it cures it. Two words found within one, the cure within the madness. The idea that beauty and love can blossom from chaos, bringing dreams to life where another world is possible. A remedy is found in the craziness of this life, allowing the possibility for change. Through their music LoCura hopes to provide a catalyst for transformation and healing. ---------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ MORE about LoCura... Rumba Flamenca, con Reggae y Son. LoCura experiments with fusing Flamenco dancing and Salsa Rhythms, Funk and Hip-Hop with Ude and Cello, and West Coast Reggae beats crafted from unexpected percussion instruments. Lyrics in Spanish and English, LoCura brings to the stage a vibrant collage of sound and movement, with a message of bridging cultures and transcending borders. Their debut album "Animas,"- meaning "the energy and inspiration of the soul" in Spanish- is a beautiful representation of how LoCura has mixed so many instruments and genres to create a soulful and dynamic sound.--------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- View ¡LoCura!'s Sonicbids EPK

Hey, I'm so glad some of you were at the Beckett's show. It reminded me that I also want to connect with you guys for shows, etc. Let me know if you are interested for something in July/August. I'd like to set up a big show for both of us at Cafe Du Nord. Only request is to not play anywhere else local 2-3 weeks before and after. Please email me at justinancheta@me.com I'm friends with Jason McGuire as well (saw rachel play with him in Oakland).
