Universal Grammar presents
El Baile de los Muertos ft. La Doña & Reyna Tropical
DJ sets Discodelic
Blending Caribbean beats, reggaeton, and hip hop styles, San Francisco-born Cecilia Cassandra Pena-Govea (known professionally as La Dona) makes an appearance at The Independent! The Mexican-American singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist grew up performing professionally as a trumpeter in her parent's conjunto, eventually mastering instruments such as the guitarron, vihuela, guitar, and Latin percussion. Composing songs that explore brown femininity, her music is inspired by love, sex, pain, and climate catastrophes, and has received early praise from the likes of The Fader, Billboard, NPR, People CHICA and Remezcla.
La Doña, also known as Cecilia Cassandra Peña-Govea, started playing music in her family's band when she was seven-years-old. Her debut EP "Algo Nuevo" serves up a blend of Latin Folk, Reggaeton, Cumbia, Hip Hop, and Pop topped off with seamlessly bilingual lyricism. Her topics cover earthquakes, gentrification, fog, coffee, and so many other things we love and hate about the Bay.
Her songwriting is rooted in the call and response, live energy she exchanges with her band and her audience.
