Opening Night- Party- Cine+Mas San Francisco Latino Film Festival
The 6th Cine+Mas San Francisco Latino Film Festival opens on September 19 and runs through September 27 at venues in San Francisco and around the bay. The festival opens with CRY NOW, a lyrical love story straight outta LA's famed Boyle Heights centered on the rocky relationship between a street artist and a tattoo artist. The film features award-winning actress Lupe Ontiveros in her final screen appearance.
After the film join us at Brick & Mortar for our Opening Night after-party. Mingle with visiting filmmakers and other film enthusiasts for a night of music and dancing. Los Angeles based Buyepongo headlines an eclectic mix of sounds and rhythms with local favorites Las Bomberas de la Bahia and DJ Kool Kyle keeping the music going all night.
BUYEPONGO
Buyepongo is a vibrant polyrhythmic, genre-fusing group with deep musical roots in South and Central America. They began their musical journey in Norwalk, CA in 2005. Eventually, the group would make a name for themselves in South Central for hosting and performing at their famed "South Central Beach" loft parties in the early 2000's. These shows were a direct result of the limited opportunities for a band like theirs to consistently play around Los Angeles and they decided to create a scene for their brand of genre bending. Buyepongo not only draws heavily from the Latino musical culture, but from hip-hop as well.
Their name translates to "to cause a ruckus," a nod to the Wu Tang Clan track, "Bring da Ruckus" from the seminal album, Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), one of their sonic inspirations. Taking their cues from traditional "roots" music of Colombia, Haiti, Belize, Honduras and the Dominican Republic, Buyepongo seamlessly blends merengue, punta and cumbia. The group's pulse is built around the drum and guacharaca (pronounced: wah cha rah ca) giving them an upbeat tropical flare.
LAS BOMBERAS DE LA BAHIA
Las Bomberas de la Bahia
One of only a handful of all-women's Bomba groups to ever exist internationally, Las Bomberas take Afro-Puerto Rican Bomba music to the next level. Born in SF's Mission district with a passion and commitment to social justice, Las Bomberas strive to use the cultural arts to lift the voices of marginalized communities while holding a deep love of Afro-Puerto Rican traditions. The group was founded in November 2007 and is composed of San Francisco Bay Area artists, educators, and activists, under the direction of Sarazeta Ragazzi and Denise Solis. Come celebrate love, life, and liberation with the intoxicating rhythms of Puerto Rico and Las Bomberas de la Bahia!
DJ KOOL KYLE
Dj El Kool Kyle has been an integral part of the east bay music scene since 1993. He is comfortable in the studio as a producer, on stage as an emcee or rockin a crowd with one of his dj sets. His ability to combine Hiphop, Dancehall & Afro Latin music as a producer & deejay is just one of the things that makes him a local favorite.
