East LA’s Las Cafeteras Empowers the Voices of Social Good in Sonoma County
On April 25, LBC will gather community advocates and concerned citizens to participate in The Sounds of Solidarity: Using Art as a Bridge to Connect Us – A Community Dialogue with Las Cafeteras, our first community dialogue. Facilitated by our Latino Advisory Council (LAC), the free event is part of a collaborative effort with Green Music Center at Sonoma State University and Las Cafeteras, a creative, socially conscious band from East Los
Angeles, to advance the principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). This artist residency will feature performances, education programs, and conversation with Las Cafeteras, who inspired the collaboration in the first place.
The Sounds of Solidarity will be held from 7:00 to 8:30 pm in LBC’s Lytton Rancheria Grand Lobby in Santa Rosa. It will include a panel discussion with the band members, small group discussions in English and
Spanish facilitated by LAC, and a Q&A session. Las Cafeteras will perform a musical piece during the evening.
Read more about the event
in our April Newsletter article.
Community members are invited to participate in the community discussion. Visit the event page to register.
Tickets for the April 27 evening performance at the Green Music Center start at $25. To purchase tickets, visit gmc.sonoma.edu.

Enjoy Music at the Market with Music Appreciation Day!
After a two-year hiatus, the Music for Schools' Music Appreciation Day is back!
Join us Saturday, April 30 at the Santa Rosa Certified Organic Farmer's Market at the LBC from 10:00 am to noon as we showcase students and LBC’s Music for Schools program, which provides students who cannot otherwise afford an instrument to participate in school music programs the opportunity to borrow an instrument for the entire school year, completely free of charge.
"We're looking forward to celebrating four student groups who will each perform a 30-minute set," says Tracy Sawyer, Community Partnerships Supervisor, who organizes the event. Students from partner organizations—Mark West School District, Elsie
Allen High School, LBC's own Mariachi Cantares de mi Tierra, and participants from one of LBC's Artists in the Schools African drumming residency programs—will show off their skills. Music for Schools' Music Appreciation Day is free for all ages! Enjoy music from amazing local student talent, rain or shine!

Las Cafeteras
Tuesday, April 26 at 9:30 am Grades 7-12
In this special performance for students, Las Cafeteras sing in English, Spanish, and Spanglish and add a remix of sounds, from rock to hip-hop to rancheras. Las Cafeteras are Native and migrant children who are remixing roots music and telling modern day stories, creating a vibrant musical fusion with a unique East LA sound and positive message. Their Afro-Mexican beats, rhythms, and rhymes deliver inspiring lyrics that document stories of a community seeking love and justice. Using traditional Son Jarocho instruments like the jarana, requinto, quijada (donkey jawbone) and tarima (a wooden platform), Las Cafeteras use music as a vehicle to build bridges among different
cultures and communities, and create “a world where many worlds fit.”
A joint presentation with the Green Music Center.
