More Information
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 weaving Cumbia with Ska through contagious rhythms and multiple languages, their music transports you through a day in the life of the modern metropolis experience across the globe where the movement of people and ideas are constantly flowing. Reflecting lead vocalist Kata’s own experience of growing up in Spain, Italy, and the U.S., LoCura’s music rides the borders of identity and migration piecing together a mosaic of myriad cultures and experiences. In Spain the expression "Ida y Vuelta" is used to describe styles of music that made a "round-trip" from Spain to Latin America while mixing with music from the African slave and Indigenous populations. Using the idea of music traveling and acting as creative resistance, LoCura mixes it up with their own Califas Flamenkito, Reggae, and Cuban Son styles. Moved by the music that crosses borders and takes root in new lands, LoCura draws on the creative 'rebelde' spirit to cultivate the cures passed on from our ancestors. |
