He aims to fuse the earthy quality of folk music with forward-looking compositions and live performances\, reflecting the mixed identities of his heritage and influences. \nBorn and raised in Puerto Rico\, Pedro José Pastrana grew up in the jíbaro music tradition and was surrounded by the vocabulary of other popular sounds. This upbringing would help him develop a keen instinct for playing in settings outside of his element. As an active member of the Bay Area music scene\, Pedro has collaborated with the John Santos Sextet\, Jerry Medina\, Juango Gutierrez\, Orestes Vilató\, and Atabal\, among others. \nHis debut album\, Crónicas de la Pierna Inquieta consists of eight original tracks\, serving as snapshots of self-discovery\, inspired by the coming-of-age events of the past 13 years. \nÓskar Ly is a multi-instrumentalist\, arranger\, composer\, bandleader\, and music producer based in the San Francisco Bay Area. Originally from Barranquilla\, Colombia\, his musical journey began when he was 9\, the piano being his first instrument. A self-taught artist\, he also plays guitar\, bass\, melodica\, accordion\, and Latin percussion instruments. Currently\, he is the director of Óskar Ly & Rumbalú. Óskar has collaborated with Latin music superstars Nino Segarra\, Chuchito Valdés\, Nelson Rangell\, and Sal Cuevas (bassist of Fania All Stars)\, among others. \nhttps://www.pjpastranamusic.com \nhttps://www.facebook.com/pj.pastrana.music \nhttps://www.oskarlymusic.com/ \n\n\n\nPREVIEW THE MUSIC: \n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n \nEVENT DETAILS\nSaturday\, December 16th\, 2023\nTime: 7:00 pm doors\, 7:30 pm show\nAdmission: (Online) $20 – $35/ (Door) $30-$35 \nNote: A limited quantity of additional tickets will be available for purchase at the door unless otherwise noted on the Facebook event page that the show is SOLD OUT. \nPurchase advance tickets for this event! \nNote: Purchasing an advance ticket guarantees admission but does not guarantee a seat.

Ellman has worked extensively as a side man with the likes of Vijay Iyer\, Myra Melford\, and Henry Threadgill. His latest release Last Desert is available on Pi recordings. Cleaver\, one of the most on-demand drummers in NYC for decades has recorded a variety of his own records and worked with luminaries like Roscoe Mitchell and Muhal Richard Abrams. Warren has made a dozen records of his music\, and recently recorded as a sideman with Angelica Sanchez\, Stephan Crump\, and Tony Malaby. His trio with Christopher Hoffman and Nathan Ellman-Bell comes out on Out of Your Head Records in spring 2024. \nKenny Warren \nHe grew up in Denver CO\, where he was inspired at a young age by local trumpet greats Ron Miles\, Al Hood\, and Greg Gisbert. In 2002 he moved to New York to study jazz at SUNY Purchase where he met collaborators like Bobby Avey and JP Schlegelmilch. After graduating in 2006\, he moved to Brooklyn and quickly became an active member of the improvised music scene. He has performed with a who’s who of improvisors from his generation as well as with luminaries like Tony Malaby\, Chris Speed\, Angelica Sanchez\, Stephan Crump\, and Brad Shepik. \nJoining the brass band Slavic Soul Party in 2008 began the expansion of Warren’s melodic concept to include Roma music and Arabic maqam language. As a composer\, Warren’s music was first featured on 2 albums by the instrumental rock collective NOOK. In 2010 Warren formed Laila and Smitty\, named after his great aunt and uncle. That band which started out playing country-blues standards and Warren’s folksier compositions\, evolved into a singular avant-song-writing outfit that Bird is the Worm calls “massively genuine and unabashedly heart-on-the-sleeve open and honest”. Laila and Smitty have released 3 LPs\, most recently in 2019 on happylucky records. Meanwhile\, Warren continued to develop as a free improviser\, recording records in 2014 with the collective ZhirtZ n ZkinZ (Sulde) and in 2015 with The Sandra Weiss Quintet (Leo Records). \nIn 2017\, The Kenny Warren Quartet released Thank You For Coming to Life (Whirlwind Recordings) which highlights Warren as a jazz composer and soloist. The album was heralded as “Boldly creative and superbly orchestrated…A masterful album… Stunning.” by Radio REC. In 2018 Warren released YLA (promnight)\, a solo cassette that resulted from a series of home recording experiments done on a creative retreat to California that winter. In April 2020 Whirlwind released Warren’s trio record called In The Heat\, featuring Matthias Pichler on bass and Nathan Ellman-Bell on drums. \nHis latest projects include a trio with Christopher Hoffman and Nathan Ellman-Bell called Sweet World\, and a duo with Bobby Avey\, both of which will be recording new albums in 2023. \nhttps://www.kennywarrenmusic.com/ \n  \nLiberty Ellman \nBased in Brooklyn New York\, guitarist/composer Liberty Ellman has performed and or recorded with a host of stand-out creative artists including Joe Lovano\, Myra Melford\, Wadada Leo Smith\, Butch Morris\, Vijay Iyer\, Steve Lehman\, Greg Osby\, Rudresh Mahanthappa\, Nels Cline\, Somi\, Matana Roberts\, Ledisi\, JD Allen\, Michele Rosewoman\, Adam Rudolph\, Mary Halverson\, and Okkyung Lee. Mr. Ellman is perhaps best known for his long tenure in Henry Threadgill’s groundbreaking ensemble\, Zooid. The group has recorded several critically lauded albums. Their most recent recording “In For A Penny\, In For A Pound” earned a Pulitzer prize for Mr. Threadgill. Ellman has released 4 of his own critically acclaimed albums: Orthodoxy\, Tactiles\, Ophiuchus Butterfly\, and Radiate on Pi Recordings. His compositional style has been described as “At once highly controlled and recklessly inventive\,” and the Wall Street Journal said: “Ellman\, along with his peers\, is helping to define post-millennial jazz.” Voted #1 Rising Star Guitarist in the 2016 Downbeat Critics Poll\, he was also honored in the 2015 Jazz Times expanded critics poll\, as one of the four guitarists of the year alongside Bill Frisell\, John Scofield\, and Julian Lage. \nhttps://www.libertyellman.com/ \n  \nGerald Cleaver \nDrummer Gerald Cleaver was born and raised in Detroit\, Michigan\, and is a product of the rich music tradition found there and also in his home.

It is characterized by its great resistance. It has strong roots that can measure up to 70 meters (230 feet) deep\, this allows the tree to live up to one thousand years self-sufficiently feeding itself from the water in the subsoil. Therefore\, it survives the arid land and hostile climate even creating new ecosystems for the habitat of other species. \nOur ​Huarango is a new musical project born in the city of Oakland\, California based in Afro-Peruvian musical roots and the cultural heritage of its people. Huarango has the purpose of being an agent of diffusion of Afro-Peruvian culture in the San Francisco Bay Area\, and in all the spaces where we can take our music. \nHuarango is a contemporary proposal of Afro-Peruvian music. Anchored in the strong presence of Afro-Peruvian percussion: Cajon\, Cajita and Quijada de Burro (donkey ́s jawbone); instruments that are part of the history of this population and have manifested themselves as symbols of resistance for African descendants in Peru. \n\nPREVIEW THE MUSIC: \n\n\n\n \n \n\n \nCOVID-19 PRECAUTIONS\n\nMasks are required inside at all time.

It captures the suffering\, nostalgia\, intensity and fire of the Argentine people.  \nIn this performance\, Pablo will perform a part of Horacio Salgán piano transcriptions\, which is the result of almost two years of decoding this rare recording into a studio album and a music book with all the scores and research notes of the project. The repertoire will feature traditional tango and some of the original work by the Maestro. \nABOUT THE ARTIST: \nPablo Estigarribia is a Latin Grammy nominee and world-renowned tango pianist\, arranger and composer. Like many artists of this genre\, he began his training as a classical musician and soon branched out into the world of tango. He studied at the National Conservatory in Buenos Aires\, where he won the Bienal Juvenil National Competition for Young Artists. After graduating\, he spent several years on the frenzied performance circuit in Argentina\, collaborating with the Congress Chamber Orchestra\, the National Radio Orchestra\, and the Chaco Symphony\, among many others. Seeking to broaden his musical horizons beyond the classical realm\, Estigarribia took a brief detour through jazz and then discovered tango in 2005. He quickly won the Orquesta Escuela de Tango scholarship and performed with this superb ensemble under the direction of Maestro Emilio Balcarce. Estigarribia continued working with Balcarce shortly thereafter when he first toured Europe. \nEstigarribia rapidly established himself as a nuanced and masterful tango performer in Germany\, France\, Belgium\, Japan\, Russia\, Finland\, Canada\, the United States and Cuba. He has been featured in over a thousand concerts\, joining Argentine tango legends like Maria Graña\, Victor Lavallén\, Leopoldo Federico\, Nestor Marconi\, Horacio Cabarcos\, Emilio Balcarce and many others. Estigarribia’s album Tangos Para Piano (EPSA) won the prestigious 2015 Gardel Prize for Best Tango Album by a New Artist. After receiving wide acclaim for this album\, he earned coveted recognition from the Argentine tango industry as an expert in the art of tango music. He is a recipient of the Argentine Tango Society’s Medal of Honor for his educational forays at the Stowe Tango Music Festival (Vermont\, USA) in multiple years. Estigarribia’s ascendancy brought him to Japan in 2016 where he was lauded in the Tokyo press following his performances. He then became sought after in the United States\, where he played in New York’s famous Blue Note Jazz Club. He has made performance and interview appearances on NBC\, Univision\, Telemundo\, and The Huffington Post. Estigarribia splits his time between his native Buenos Aires\, Argentina\, and New York City. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nIstanbul Connection \nOld school Balkan Latin folk music in a funky Bay Area context \nFeaturing: \nKata Miletich – vocals\nRaul Vargas – vocals and cajon \nHaluk Kelecioglu – vocals\, oud and violin\nGreg Jenkins – vocals\, clarinet and saxophone\nDanny Cao – trumpet\nJoaquin Zamudio – bass\nBob San – guitars\nMelissa Cruz – drums and flamenco dance \n  \nABOUT THE PROJECT: \nIstanbul Connection is a Bay Area musical collective formed in 2015 when 13 members of the hottest Balkan and Latin bands were gravitationally pulled to visit the city of Istanbul. With a mind towards cross-cultural connection and sonic expansion\, these die-hards flew 7\,000 miles to represent a piece of the Bay Area music scene. In the process\, they have cemented themselves as a supergroup of groove and since their epic beginnings\, the band has performed sold-out-show after sold-out-show. They continue to draw their inspiration from the Turkish Maqam\, Flamenco\, Rumba\, Balkan\, and Cumbia they are so deeply rooted in. \n  \nCURRENT EXHIBITION: Paintings & Tarot in Pandemic and Revolution by  Adrian Arias\n  \nPaintings in Pandemic and Revolution | Adrian Arias\nThe current exhibition on view in walls of The Red Poppy Art House \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nARTIST STATEMENT \nAdrián believes that poetry is in constant motion\, and that feeds on each discipline to continue among us. Sometimes it is a photograph of a feather lying on the shore\, sometimes a book-object that seems to tell us the future\, sometimes the body moving slowly between blue lights to go dancing with paper and umbrellas\, without rain. The absurd\, the light\, the sensual\, the shadow\, the dreams\, are often elements in the daily life of Adrian\, who in addition to declaring himself a Poet in motion\, is an art teacher and a cultural organizer of events. \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n“During 2020 Adrian returned to an old style of painting that he used in Lima\, Peru in the 80s\, one that was baptized as” Virus Style “\, because it is based on painting and spontaneous writing\, which grows rapidly with the motivation of what we hear or see around us. \nThese works are the result of collaborations and virtual conversations with friends from different parts of the world. Adrian was connected with poets and musicians from Argentina\, Mexico\, Nicaragua\, Peru\, and various states of the USA\, creating several of the pieces in this exhibition live\, online. In addition\, Adrian spent some time creating his “Monsters of the Day”\, showing his feelings about the pandemic\, which are also part of this exhibition. \n  \nTarot in Pandemic and Revolution | Adrian Arias\n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nTarot in Pandemic and Revolution\, inspired by Adrian Arias’ lucid dream of a fortune teller and cards embellished with images of viruses\, masks\, Black Lives Matter\, marches\, and protests\, is a unique 81-card Tarot deck. It is accompanied by an exquisite book of poetry\, created by 67 internationally-recognized artists and poets (24 visual artists\, 43 poets) with deep ties to the San Francisco Bay Area\, who span three generations. These award-winning poet laureates\, novelists\, authors\, muralists\, painters\, graphic artists\, performance artists\, composers\, musicians\, and dancers are each committed to social\, environmental\, food\, public health\, and climate justice\, and have used their powerful talents to create tarot images and poems in response to the critical times we are living in. This deck is a bold expression of hope\, resilience\, resistance\, and the courage to continue forging a path to justice and love. \nPresented in partnership with Red Poppy Art House\, Nomadic Press\, and Baldocchi Projects & Collaborations. Tarot in Pandemic and Revolution (81-CARD DECK) is available here for purchase.  \n  \nABOUT THE ARTIST\nAdrian Arian is a poet\, visual artist\, performer\, art teacher\, and South American cultural activist based in the Bay Area for two decades.

Sometimes it is a photograph of a feather lying on the shore\, sometimes a book-object that seems to tell us the future\, sometimes the body moving slowly between blue lights to go dancing with paper and umbrellas\, without rain. \nThe absurd\, the light\, the sensual\, the shadow\, the dreams\, are often elements in the daily life of Adrian\, who in addition to declaring himself a Poet in motion\, is an art teacher and a cultural organizer of events.  \nWORKSHOP: \nAdrian’s Collage workshop is open to a personal exploration of what we are experiencing in times of pandemic and social change. We will explore forms of composition\, cut\, a combination of images\, colors\, and texture. We will use magazines\, solid-colored papers\, acrylic paints or those that we have at home\, sharpies\, glue\, scissors\, and a hard surface that can be the cardboard of a box or thick cardboard. \n	\n\n		Adrian-Collage-1\n\n		\n				\n						\n		\n\n		\n		\n\n			\n				\n					\n				\n			\n\n			\n				\n					\n				\n			\n\n			\n				Image				1				of				5			\n\n		\n\n		\n			  \n		\n\n			\n	\nKristi Williamson is an interdisciplinary teacher\, artist\, and healer who explores consciousness in the body.

Images of rugged men with their code of stoic endurance\, self-reliance\, loyalty\, courage\, and camaraderie\, on horseback riding across the plains\, wrangling cattle and spitting chew were everywhere – from the paintings of Charles M. Russell\, Frederick Remington\, and Will James to the landscape itself. However\, the reality is the painful and violent history of manifest destiny that annihilated much of the indigenous peoples and wildlife of the West. The 19th century doctrine gave American settlers the rationale of a ‘God-given destiny’ to expand westward across North America and beyond. Framed in the context of morality\, divinity\, freedom\, and the presumed greatness of a white America\, the ideology was used to justify the forced removal of Native Americans from their land\, the subsequent genocide of their people\, and later\, claims to Pacific islands. The mass migration also served industrialists who benefited from the labor force that established in the west to build the railroads\, work the land\, build the cities\, and mine the natural resources.  \nWilson’s latest body of work\, The Stains and Misdirections of Manifest Destiny explores and calls attention to the painful history of manifest destiny and its lasting racist\, imperialist influence on American social and political ideology today.  \nThe Stains series uses the traditional craft of quilling (paper filigree) to create intricate drawings that evoke 19th century quilt patterns set against a stained foundation. The handicrafts of quilling and quilting spread from England to the American colonies and then to the American West. Wilson began quilling as a child when her grandmother passed on the fashionable craft of her childhood to her granddaughter.  \nThe Misdirections series counters the glorification of the west using revisions of existing historical texts branded into leather hides and stretched over wood placards to create new narratives and new directions for moving forward from a past rooted in the arrogance of manifest destiny.  \nKemp-Greene-Wilson-Metzner is a series of suede works with narratives and ornamentation from Wilson’s ancestral history of pioneer families who migrated from Wisconsin\, Illinois\, and Iowa to Utah\, Idaho\, and Montana in the 19th century as a protestant\, Mormon\, and Jewish settlers\, homesteaders\, miners\, and railway workers. \nMegan Wilson’s quilling drawings at Red Poppy Art House are part of the Stains series. \n	\n\n		Stain3\n\n		\n				\n						\n		\n\n		\n		\n\n			\n				\n					\n				\n			\n\n			\n				\n					\n				\n			\n\n			\n				Image				1				of				3			\n\n		\n\n		\n			  \n		\n\n			\n	\n  \nRonnie Goodman was a self-taught homeless artist and former distance runner living in San Francisco.

SUMMARY:Double Bill: Chives + Sturdy
DESCRIPTION:West Coast CD Release Celebration for CHIVES’ sophomore release\, Dads. \n \n  \nCHIVES represents the collective musical output of bassist Matthew Wohl\, multi-reedist Steven Lugerner and drummer Max Jaffe. Their music is a continuation of the jazz trio continuum – yet CHIVES’ repertoire is heavily influenced by the world of songwriting. Their third recording\, Dads\, was released on Primary Records in August 2012 to critical acclaim. \n  \nCHIVES is not only a platform for fluid improvisation and composition but a story of common experiences\, aesthetic intentions\, and beginnings. Born between 1987 & ’88\, CHIVES each have Jewish roots from their fathers with Australian (Wohl)\, Mexican (Lugerner) & Korean (Jaffe) roots from their mothers. They grew up together in Burlingame\, California surrounded by peers and teachers that nourished their musical sensibilities\, and have collaborated together in various settings since middle school for a total of thirteen years – more than half their lives. After recording their debut self-released album Arnold\, CHIVES collectively relocated to Brooklyn\, NY. During their first two years in New York\, CHIVES produced and released For Brian Wilson\, a dedication to Major League Baseball’s Brian Wilson – closing pitcher for the San Francisco Giants. Dads is yet another dedication\, this time to the men who introduced them to the beautiful game of baseball; Steve Wohl\, Jeffrey Lugerner & Mark Jaffe. \n  \n“Chives are a limber group –  the rhythm section (Jaffe & Wohl) bring elasticity and bounce to the alternately airy and driving grooves as Lugerner tangles with the themes\, sometimes playing inside them and sometimes soaring far afield.” – Peter Margasak (Chicago Reader) \nSteven Lugerner – Bass Clarinet\, Alto/Soprano Saxophones \n Matthew Wohl – Bass \n Max Jaffe – Drumset \n  \nSTURDY : sound in design and execution \n  \nChris Sullivan – Alto Saxophone \nHenry Moser – Guitar \nTommy O’Mahony – Bass \nNick de Ryss – Drums \n  \nwww.chivesmusic.com \n  \nAdmission $10 – 15.

SUMMARY:Film Screening: Oh Friend\, This Waiting! Free!
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe Red Poppy Art House will be hosting an affordable film screening the first Sunday of every month. The first film\, O Friend\, This Waiting! features India’s temple courtesans and most cherished love songs. \n  \nABOUT THE FILM \n  \nCould a song be full of love\, and yet banal and trifling? Such were the padams of Kshetrayya. A wandering poet-musician\, Kshetrayya wrote for devadasis\, the dancing courtesans at the courts of the 17th century Nayaka rulers. His padams became the most cherished of her songs of love. O Friend\, This Waiting! reflects on the entwined fortunes of the padams and the women they were written for\, from the 17th to the 20th century\, while dwelling in the performance spaces of temples and courts of the Nayaka period. \n  \nABOUT THE FILMMAKERS \n  \nSandhya Kumar is an independent filmmaker and editor.
