The New Parish 10 Year Anniversary Show
CELSO PIÑA, LOCURA
Celso Piña
Mexican accordionist Celso Piña, aka El Rebelde del Acordeón (the Accordion Rebel), started playing traditional music along with his brothers Eduardo, Rubén, and Enrique. In the early '80s, they turned to the tropical style after listening to Aníbal Velasquez and Alfredo Gutiérrez, forming a group called Celso Piña y su Ronda Bogotá. In 2001, Celso Piña teamed up with local rock bands Café Tacuba, Santa Sabina, and Control Machete, among others, to celebrate his 20th career anniversary by recording Barrio Bravo, produced by Alfonso Herrera and Julián Villarreal. ~ Drago Bonacich, All Music Guide

LoCura
Spain. Cuba. Jamaica. California. This extraordinary group of musicians mixes grooves and melodies from Flamenco, Reggae, Cuban Son, and North American Folk. To the stage they bring the mysterious and passionate world of Flamenco, combined with the driving, full sound of a salsa band. LoCura creates an original blend of irresistible, high energy music that bridges cultures and transcends borders. Mesmerizing flamenco footwork and solid bass lines, fiery guitar and hard-hitting percussion support rich vocals with soaring harmonies, creating a vibrant collage of sound and movement. Emotionally charged music that ignites a pulsating dance party, provides food for the soul and uplifts the spirit...a sound track to feeling alive!
