In this context\, oftentimes the lever mechanisms at the top of the instrument are set in the key of the song and left that way throughout the folk song. Conversely\, on the classical pedal harp\, one can easily change notes by stepping on the pedals. \nAmelia’s vision has taken on both harp worlds and tackles complex classical passages on the lever harp by shifting the mechanisms mid-song\, which is fascinating to watch. While pedal harps weigh 80 pounds\, lever harps weigh 25 making them very portable. Romano lived in South Africa for a year and has toured in Europe\, the southern United States and Pacific Northwest\, bringing her enthusiasm for lever harps to classical music\, wherever she goes. \n\n\nLouda y Los Bad Hombres\nLatin and Jazz Rhythmics Bilingual Spanish Vocals  \nFeaturing original music and reimagined Pop and Afro-Latin covers\, LBH seamlessly blends their jazz studies\, international influence\, and open hearts through their instruments to your seat\, to your moving feet. \nFeaturing:\nLeo Nava – Guitar and Tres\nMarley Edwards – Upright\nDave Eagle – Percussion\nLaura Camacho – Vocals and Percussion \nLouda y Los Bad Hombres came to life during the Revolution Cafe days of the Mission District. Since 2018\, this group has played large\, small\, new\, and retired venues throughout the Bay Area. \n\n\n\n\nSambamba\nCelebrating the spirit of Rio de Janeiro’s samba \nSambamba brings the spirit of Rio de Janeiro’s samba to Red Poppy\, celebrating the music of Paulinho da Viola\, Martinho da Vila\, Zeca Pagodinho\, Almir Guineto\, Jorge Aragão\, Revelação\, Arlindo Cruz\, Fundo de Quintal\, and beyond for a true Carioca experience. \nFeaturing:\nLau Paiva – Guitar\, Vocals\, Percussion\nRodrigo Lemes – Cavaquinho\, Vocals\, Pandeiro\nAndrew Scott – Pandeiro\, Tantan\, Reco-reco\, cajon\, tamborim\n+ Surprise Special Guests! \nSambamba is a Bay Area group specializing in the authentic joy of samba and bossa nova\, singing the songs that every Brazilian seems to know. The core of Sambamba is a trio\, which can expand to a quartet or quintet depending on the situation. The band members have been playing together in various Bay Area groups for over 20 years. Their diverse backgrounds bring an eclectic mix of influences to their music. \nLau Paiva is from Piracicaba\, São Paulo. A talented guitarist (violão) and singer\, Lau performs a wide range of Brazilian music styles and knows hundreds of songs. She also performs as a solo artist and as part of various small groups in the Bay Area. \nRodrigo Lemes is from Goiânia and Rio de Janeiro. He grew up with Sertanejo country music from Goiás and later became captivated by the samba and samba funk of Rio. Rodrigo has played with numerous top Bay Area musicians in groups like Grupo da Sete\, Grupo Borogodo\, and alongside Maestro Jorge Alabé. Known for his infectious energy\, Rodrigo brings dynamic vocals and rhythmic grooves on cavaquinho and pandeiro. \nAndrew Scott moved to San Francisco from London and has lived in the Mission and Bernal Heights for 40 years\, returning to London annually. He runs Studio 401\, which has been recording and producing a diverse array of artists from the Bay Area\, London\, Brazil\, South Africa\, and Argentina for over 25 years.

He has also lived in Brazil and participated in Carnaval with Paraiso Samba in London and Samba Rio in San Francisco. Andrew has studied with Maestro Jorge Alabé\, Maestro Chuck Brown\, and Maestro Marcos Suzano. A specialist in South African jazz\, he recently produced the acclaimed Duduvudu CD. \n\n\nVisual Art Exhibition: Fracture Zones\n \nInspired by the geographical language and imagery of topographic maps\, particularly the large scars forming “fracture zones” deep beneath the surface of the Atlantic Ocean\, she uses these fissures as a metaphor for the layers of emotional experience related to ancestry\, immigration\, and lost family narratives. \n  \nABOUT THE ARTIST\n \nAndrea Guskin is a San Francisco Bay Area based multidisciplinary artist who was raised amongst the woods and college campuses of Wisconsin and Ohio.  \nShe works across multiple disciplines including photography\, sculpture\, and painting. She often uses everyday domestic materials and tools for mending–such as thread\, foil\, spices– to explore ancestry\, domesticity and strategies for repair and transformation in our daily lives. \nAfter studying painting at Antioch College in Ohio\, Guskin moved to New York City and became part of the art and songwriting communities on the Lower East Side\, joining a group of visual and performing artists working in a 19th century school building now known as The Clemente. She exhibited her work and performed her songs regularly in the East Village (Sidewalk Cafe\, C Note\, CBGB’s Gallery).  \nSince moving to California\, she has regularly exhibited her work throughout the state (Berkeley Art Center\, H Gallery\, Mercury 20 Gallery)\, often combining her experience in museum education with her creative practice to lead participatory art events. Andrea is a 2025 recipient of the San Leandro Arts and Culture grant for her community cyanotype project\, Local Roots. In 2023\, she graduated with an M.F.A in Interdisciplinary Arts from Mills College at Northeastern University.
