At 8 PM, the band SOMOS will perform a free concert, including songs from their soon-to-be-released CD, "Every Now and Then." Somos also includes family members of Luis Valdez and his brother Daniel Valdez. The Valdezes have been active in the United Farmworkers' Teatro Campesino, in films, organizing, and music for some 40 years. We are honored to have them perform for the community during the launch of our own online magazine!
Come and meet your extended familia, join the gathering tribe. There'll be Poetry, Slide Shows, Speakers, Art, Music, Food, and friends aplenty!
