San Francisco’s LoCura With Las Cruces’ Own Nuevo Sol at the Rio Grande Theatre Friday, March 12, 2010
Direct from San Francisco’s vibrant music scene, en route to the SXSW Music Festival in Austin, TX, the Doña Ana Arts Council welcomes Latin music and dance ensemble LoCura to the Rio Grande Theatre Stage. LoCura mixes grooves and melodies from Latin and North American influences to create an original blend of music that bridges cultures and transcends borders. Joining LoCura for an evening of spirited Latin-flavored beats are local-rising-stars, Nuevo Sol. Both will take the Rio Grande Theatre stage on March 12, 2010.
LoCura’s music draws from many genres, bringing them together into an original mix of Flamenco Rumba, Reggae, Cuban Son and North American Folk. LoCura’s debut album Animas was released in March 2008 with sold out concerts at the Great American Music Hall and other venues throughout San Francisco, as well as a 2009 featured slot at the renowned SXSW music festival in Austin, TX. After touring music festivals throughout the West Coast, Canada, and Mexico, LoCura will make an appearance at the Rio Grande Theatre on their return to Austin for this year’s SXSW music festival.
Las Cruces natives Nuevo Sol–made up of members from such diverse local acts as Rio, Zia’s Soul, Del Rey, Live Bait and Liquid Cheese–takes the best of Latin, Jazz, Reggae and Rock, then transforms them into a powerful, energetic performance with a style all their own. The result is a progressive, cutting-edge sound that reflects the rich cultural styles of the region and takes Southwestern music to all new levels. Making their musical debut in mid-2009, the band has since made a name for itself throughout the state as one of the best rising bands of the region.
The Rio Grande Theatre is located at 211 N. Downtown Mall, in Las Cruces. Doors open at 6:30pm and the performance begins at 7pm. Tickets are $15 and can be purchased via the website at www.RioGrandeTheatre.com. For more information contact Rio Grande Theatre Manager, David Salcido, at (575) 523-6403.
