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 irresistible blend of high energy music that bridges cultures and transcends borders, 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!

Aphrodesia:
This San Francisco-based 11-piece ensemble has won audiences over with an eclectic, unique sound- a blend of rich, female lead vocals and slamming horn-laden polyrhythmic funk that Global Rhythm Magazine called "a Pan-African mash-up." While the members of Aphrodesia are admirers of West African styles like afrobeat and Highlife, the group's sound has always included touches of funk, dub, Zimbabwean trance, hip-hop and global pop.

Lulacruza:
Lulacruza instinctively weaves female vocals, South American instruments, found sound objects and field recordings through electronic manipulation. A duo from Argentina and Colombia, Luis Maurette and Alejandra Ortiz make primal songs which combine improvising, channeling and working with the tangible aspects of sound.
