This Saturday, We Melt ICE in Downtown L.A!

“This event is a direct response to the ongoing and most recent state-sanctioned public executions of community members Keith Porter, Renee Good, and Alex Pretii, and the ongoing state-sanctioned kidnappings of immigrants across the US by ICE.”

Casita De La Noche
RSVP HERE.

Just before the microphone drops, Who Is Your Neighborhood will be tabling at this event—including with a brand new banner—providing resources for attendees to strengthen their own neighborhood defense of our communities across Los Angeles. If you’re unable to make the event but would still like to show your support, you can always help raise funds for our Vendor Buyout campaign here.

Machito: Mas Que Muy Bueno!

Rdio has my deepest gratitude for featuring this brilliant portal into the historic Afro-Cuban jazz scene; a heart-throbbing celebration of life and love. My favorite track so far would have to be “Tin Tin Deo” for taking a cozy party of instruments and turning them into a declarative, triumphant ensemble with a confidence that at once commands awe and respect. The frolicking only gets started there, however, as “Mambo” gleefully shows. Every track on “Mambo Mucho Mambo” takes all of life up to its most artistic with inimitable genius. The album is a gift, a gem, and anyone who finds it is in for a party wherever they are. This morning at home, I certainly am!
