La Raza Galería Posada (LRGP) presents a family day of Latino celebration with music, dance, poetry, arts & crafts, and community awareness. The concert headliner is the legendary 12-piece Latin rock group, Malo- featuring guitarist Jorge Santana. Opening for MALO is Sacramento's supreme torch singer Keri Carr (formerly of Rowdy Kate), and her new quartet featuring multi-year, Sammie Award-winning guitarist, Steve Randall,drummer Larry Carr and bassist R.W. Grigsby who will debut a set of traditional Mexican music. As lead singer of Rowdy Kate, Mexican-American Carr wowed California audiences with her Ronstadt-like vocal power and interpretive depth.
Also on the main stage is San Francisco’s Blanca Sandoval, a bilingual singer songwriter. Her sound blends together her Latin musical roots with rock, funk, jazz, and ballads. She has released her debut CD, Mi Musica. The daughter of career musicians, Blanca grew up on the road traveling with Los Sandoval, an internationally recognized group that has appeared with such famous acts as Celia Cruz, The Platters and Diane Summer.The location was chosen to attract thousands of people to this city’s zócalo (town center) and offer the sights, sound and smells that accompany the music of the era known as Latin Rock. The plaza and this event honors Cesar Chavez, the legendary activist and humanitarian.
Families can enjoy a day of festivities in a park setting. There will be food vendors, community information/outreach booths, an artisan center featuring area artists and craft persons, plus Latin dance clinics for kids of all ages.
Since 1979, the Galería has established itself as a community center of excellence in promoting and exhibiting Chicano, Latino and Native American art, music, poetry, and dance in the Northern California region. The proceeds generated from this event will allow LRGP the opportunity to continue to educate and serve the greater community.
