Saturday at 3pm in the Tito's tent. This is the moniker of San Francisco-raised Cecilia Cassandra Peña-Govea. Here's an interview with her on NPR but the relevant quote is:
"Growing up, my father played in a salsa band and it boasted members from Nicaragua, from Puerto Rico, from Mexico. That kind of represents to me what the Latinx community in San Francisco looks like. It's not just super Chicano-based and all about Mexico. There's such a diversity within the Latino community that you don't necessarily see in the rest of California. I think that overwhelming mezcla or such a richness of influences shaped me and definitely shaped my musical practice. And you can see that through the music I do as La Doña."
She was also profiled in the NY Times for "19 Songs that Matter Right Now". "Quién Me La Paga" was picked #1.
I like this song better. I like the video, too.
