La Familia Peña-Govea
June 13, 2014 @ 7:30 pm - 10:00 pm
$10 – $15
Dance to cumbia, merengue, ranchera, valse, danzone and more!
La Familia Peña-Govea is a band of four family members who have played music together for three decades. They have lovingly shared their music at countless weddings, baptisms, festivals, and birthdays, both locally in the Bay Area and beyond, as well as more formal venues like Davies Symphony Hall. They share their music with the simple intention of bringing people together and making them smile and dance. La Familia Peña-Govea brought this spirit to San Quentin State Prison and AIDS ward patients at Laguna Honda Hospital. Come join them for a night of festivity and dance!
