Hispanic Musicians Celebrate Dignity and Rebellion   
04/01/2004 09:25AM
Contributed by: ARomero

EventsBerkeley, California, USA (PRWEB) - Estación Libre & La Peña presents El 20 y 10: A Celebration of Dignity and Rebellion. A recognition of global struggles inspired by the Zapatista movement in Mexico. A night to celebrate the many local & global struggles against Bush's War, Neoliberalism, and to celebrate the struggle for dignity & hope. With urban roots band Quinto Sol, South American reggae sensation Red I & Chicano funk Raigambre.

Red I is coming to the East Bay at La Peña Cultural Center, Berkeley (California) on Friday, April 2nd 2004. The International Reggae artist is touring in support of its independently released Unidad (Unity) debut CD. RED I is a talented sing-jay/writer/producer/MC hailing from Chile. His music delivers fiery lyrical content, often bi-lingual, infused with messages of love and positive vibrations. Accompanied by an all star band, RED I lets loose with his Latino flavor to bring forward the Reggae of the future: Spicy Digital Roots with a message.

ixing world beat, reggae and funk in their music, Raigambre brings its vibe from Sacramento.

Coming straight out of the barrio in East Los Angeles (L.A.), Quinto Sol is the emerging source of cumbia reggae roots en Espanol in California. Political, connected to the root, good to dance, revolutionary, big bass, big riddim section, true lyrics, and a great live show can only start to tell the story.
