Click here to purchase 'los senn-sont-less' online.

The Mockingbirds (Los Cenzontles) dig deep into Latino traditions to promote dignity, pride and cultural understanding. The group has pioneered revivals of Mexican roots music in California bringing traditions to new generations. The Mockingbirds now create a powerful new hybrid sound –creating a fresh Chicano voice for a new generation.

Fronting the group is the dynamic vocal dueto of Fabiola Trujillo and Lucina Rodriguez and sonero Hugo Arroyo. The Mockingbirds effortlessly mix electric bass and drums with traditional Mexican instruments – jarana, vihuela, requinto, pandero and quijada (jawbone) – creating a powerful contemporary sound infused with the gutsy soul of Mexico’s rural roots music.

Hola!!

SUNDAY TIMES CALLS WED. SHOW A "BEST BET"

Good news: the Sunday Contra Costa Times rated Steve Taylor-Ramírez’ June 11 show at the Plough & Stars a "best bet" (page D5, May 25). They even put my pic next to Death Cab for Cutie and Brad Paisley. Not bad company to be in ...

Music and info here: http://www. myspace. com/thestevetaylor

As the paper says: "Berkeley musician Steve Taylor-Ramírez takes his Latin-infused neo-folk, across the Bay to San Francisco's Plough and Stars pub, 9 p.m. 116 Clement St. Free. (415) 751-1122, http://www. theploughandstars. com."

We hope you can make it. Espero que allá nos vemos.

Hola,

Acclaimed Berkeley songwriter STEVE TAYLOR-RAMÍREZ offers his acoustic soul, neo-folk and Latin roots with songs of love and rebellion. Classically trained Mexican guitarist ALFREDO GOMEZ brings Nueva Trova to life as he sings of love and its absence, sadness and joy … and releases his new CD.
