Stern Grove Festival
July 27:
Voices of Latin Rock
SambaDa

Sunday, July 27 at 2:00 p.m.
Stern Grove, 19th Avenue and Sloat Boulevard, San Francisco 

Celebrate the sound of San Francisco with Voices of Latin Rock!

Born in the Mission District, Latin Rock was a defining sound of the late 1960’s and early 1970’s when bands like Santana, Malo, Sapo, Abel and the Prophets, and Azteca melded the rhythms of Latin music with funk, soul, and rock. Voices of Latin Rock features veteran performers like Jorge Santana and Gabriel Manzo of Malo, Abel Sanchez of Abel and the Prophets, and trumpeter Bill Ortiz from Santana, among others, who shaped the sound of what became known in America as "Latin Rock." With an impeccably tight horn section, blistering guitars, and a host of percussionists, expect Voices of Latin Rock to lay down a sorching performance. 

Local favorite SambaDá will lead the afternoon with a high-powered concoction of Brazilian beats, samba, funk, reggae, and hip-hop.
