SUMMARY:MAD NOISE
DESCRIPTION:“Best Band” by SF Bay Guardian Best of the Bay \nThe band got their name one fateful summer night in the alleyway beside City Lights Bookstore in North Beach. The bandmates were enjoying a 14 hour day of busking when a friendly neighborhood wino walking by yelled\, “Y’all make MAD NOISE.” The crew embraced their new title immediately and four years later has been described as a hybrid of jazz and funk with a mixture of folk and a wide range of instruments all combined to give MAD NOISE an award winning sound. The band started their career by performing free shows at “The Church\,” a secret spot on the UC Berkeley Campus\, and from there moved to rooftops\, graveyards\, boats\, back alleys\, street corners and have since performed at Yoshi’s and the Great American Music Hall. MAD NOISE promises a mad-acoustic and energized performance. \n  \n“The ubiquitous\, scandalously funky acoustic/jazz/punk ensemble that haunts the street corners and sidewalks from Berkeley to the Mission”. –SF Weekly \n  \nAdmission: $10-15. Doors at 7:00pm Show at 7:30. \nTickets will not be sold in advance for this event. Please arrive at the Red Poppy when doors open to purchase tickets. \n

Across these 10 years\, the MAPP has featured thousands of artists\, helping to cross-pollinate ideas and launch careers of artists engaged in social issues. It is a kind of otherworldly art walk\, not centered on commercial corridors but within intimate spaces where the magic of genuine connectivity transpires among people across communities and art forms. \nMAPP stands as a testament to the possibility of horizontal organizing among artists intent on building social fabric within our respective communities\, as much to celebrate diversity and creativity as to counter the erosion of these qualities that occurs when development displaces artists and minority communities alike. \n MAPP Website \nAlways free and open to all ages! \n

SUMMARY:Natalia Contesse CANCELED
DESCRIPTION:An Evening of Chilean Folklore and Song \nNatalia Contesse is a singer/songwriter who works in the tradition of Chilean “cantoras” – women who tell stories through song. Natalia weaves a variety of influences into the fabric of her music: the folklore of her native Chile\, the rhythms of the Cueca (a traditional style of folk music and dance)\, and the wisdom of Chilean proverbs. In her latest release\, Corra La Voz\, she pays particular homage to the iconic folk singer of the 1950s and 1960s\, Violetta Parra. With a dynamic guitar and vocal style that is at once dulcet and full of raw power\, Natalia sings of memory and identity\, of traveling through life and the knowledge that one gathers along the way. Her lyrics poetically convey an urgency and a sensitivity to the challenges that humanity faces\, but with a sense of wonder and gratitude that resides close behind. Natalia will be joined by members of Duamuxa\, a Chilean group based in the Bay Area\, whose original compositions are inspired by the diverse musical offerings of the Southern Cone and the United States. They will intersperse their own unique flavor into Natalia’s set for a vivacious evening of South American folklore and song. \nNatalia Contesse – vocals and guitar\nRicardo Valdivieso – vocals and guitar\nMarci Valdivieso – vocals and guitar \nCheck out Natalia’s website here.\nAlso\, check out Duamuxa’s website here.\nCheck out the Facebook event here. \n  \nAdmission: $10-15.
