Looks like we don't have enough Luchistas to play. But please, come to the party anyway! This is a combined birthday party for me and two friends (Allegra Thompson and Char Barker, for anyone who knows them). It’s a BBQ starting at 5:00 in the afternoon, in Berkeley. Not happening | ||

A rehearsal of the Sons and Daughters of Orpheus, led by Bruce Silverman, for the Bolinas July 4th parade. All Luchistas who want to march in that parade are invited (and strongly encouraged) to come to this rehearsal. This will be "North End of Lake Merrit, Lakeshore side (across from the movie theater), under the greek columns." This year, in addition to the samba, and banda rhythms, he wants to add an Afro-Cuban Conga line, the idea being we as drummers and dancers will invite the crowd to join in the parade, in our Conga line!!!

At long last!!! I haven't been able to confirm the actual community center in Mosswood Park yet, but I can't stand it anymore. So, I'm going to schedule a few rehearsals anyway. If we get the community center, great. If not, we'll just do it outside (given that it's summer now, weather and light shouldn't be too much of a problem). The plan should be to meet promptly at our house, and then carry the neccessary gear over to the park together. I know it's a busy time with all the gigs coming up that weekend, so if we don't get quorum, I might have to cancel, so check back as this gets closer to happening. Emphasis will be on surdos for the marches that weekend. | ||

Maisa Duke's weekly dance class in the Mission. UPDATE: Many folks can't actually come, and I've come down with a nasty cold. I'll be trying to rest and save my energy for the other gigs this weekend, so no Lucha at her class tonight... Sorry, -Derek. Not happening | ||

Liza is Jim Santi Owen's partner, who is a good friend and fellow Indian music student and percussionist. Liza has been fighting against Leukemia for the past year. Jim is taking care of her full time right now, and this is a benefit to raise money for her recovery. the concert is at Tim Witter's house in West Oakland, 1561 8th street at Peralta, 12 noon to midnight. Bateria Lucha is scheduled to play from 2-3pm, so that everyone who is going has enough time to get into the city for the dyke march. Spread the word about this event! Suggested donations are $20-100 and up, NOTAFLOF. 510-504-4294 Start: 6:00 pm

The Dyke march is a ridiculous amount of fun, but there’s never enough music. We’ve said every year that we want to play for this event – let’s make it work this year. Everyone is welcome at the rally, but the march is for women only. Rally in Dolores Park at 3:00. March to Market and Castro begins at 7:00. We will meet at 6:00 in the playground, which is near the south end of the park. Update: Here's a clip of the Lucha contingent on YouTube: Definite | ||

Just like last year, we've been invited to provide drums for Maisa Duke's Energia do Samba dance troupe and march with the Department of Pubic Health's contingent in the annual SF Pride Parade. A pretty big group of folks from Grupo Samba Rio are already confirmed, but the more Luchistas who want to march, the merrier. I'll be directing the Bateria, so expect the usual mix of Lucha material (with a strong emphasis on Rio-style samba). More details about the exact starting time and meeting location as soon as I get the info, but please signup now to indicate you're coming. I'm happy to report that all Luchistas are invited to participate here, so if you were feeling left out of the Dyke march, now's your chance to still show your support for the LGBTQWXYZ community. ;) UPDATE: Here are the details for our exact meeting time and place: Definite | ||

Another July 4th parade in Bolinas with the Sons and Daughters of Orpheus. The parade starts at 11 and goes through the small town of Bolinas and then onto the beach. Possible opportunity to stay over in Bolinas on the nights of the 3rd (so you'll wake up ready to go for the morning parade) and/or 4th (so you can party down all afternoon and evening and then sleep it off before you have to get home). Also, we're hoping to recruit more dancers, so if you'd like to come to dance or bring a dancer, that would be great. There will be two rehearsals for the drumming: June 18 and June 26. These are Sons and Daughters of Orpheus rehearsals to which Luchistas are invited, not Lucha rehearsals. Here are more details from Michelle, Lucha's only Bolinas resident and a long-time organizer of Brazilian music and dance at this event:
