Description
Join us for a summer night of verse, song and community. July’s LUNADA features San Francisco’s one and only Mamacoatl and a host of invited comadres – and as always, the open mic. The Bay Area’s only full moon literary gathering, four years running!! Bring a poem, bring an instrument, bring some food, bring your friends… BRING IT.Mamacoatl is a Border Crossing Diosa, Her performance is an innovative fusion of diverse musical traditions. For those who demand comparison, she’s somewhere between Lila Downs, Ani DiFranco and Nina Simone, incorporating a fearless, feminine re-articulation of trova (Latin American protest song) and spoken word infused with jazz, funk and traditional Mexican sounds. MamaCoatl tells stories from both sides of the border in a time when the streets across America are filled with people using their voice to demand immigration reform.
