Description
Get ready to move! Global music provocateur Santero brings his International Dance Party to Gasa Gasa for his record release! The night will feature exclusive live DJ sets by Santero, and very special surprise guests. Hosted by Eduardo Courtade of Romance 93.7FM. With his third album, "Canciones de Amor y Protesta," Santero delivers a musical memoir and manifesto that's impossible to resist. This ecstatically danceable release weaves together his Indigenous Mayan heritage, Afro-Cuban spirituality, revolutionary politics, and vast musical influences into one intoxicating sonic journey. Streaming now on all platforms. Santero's sophomore album, El Hijo de Obatala, earned critical raves and landed on NPR's All Things Considered & Latino USA. The album cracked multiple critics' top 10 lists for best album of 2009 (Village Voice, SF Weekly, and beyond), and snagged Santero a 2009 SF Weekly Music Award for Best International Artist. He's since dropped numerous singles and remixes that keep dance floors burning. He's shared stages with an jaw-dropping roster—from Femi Kuti, Damian Marley & Magic System to Erykah Badu, Lupe Fiasco & Janelle Monáe. When he's not producing events across New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New Orleans, Santero serves as Senior Music Content Editor for Latin America at Gracenote, A Nielsen Company. Now based in New Orleans, Santero is bringing the heat home. Don't sleep on this.
