Direct from San
Francisco’s fertile music scene,
LoCura taps into the diverse
sounds that have a rich history
in the Bay Area, weaving them
together in an uncanny way to
reveal their common roots.
Mixing Flamenco
with Reggae and Cumbia with Ska
through contagious rhythms and
multiple languages, their music
takes you on a ride through a
day in the emerging globalized
experience where the movement of
people and ideas are in constant
flux.

Reflecting lead vocalist Kata’s
own experience of growing up
Spanish American in Spain,
Italy, and the U.S., LoCura’s
music rides the borders of
identity and migration piecing
together a mosaic of our myriad
cultures and experiences.
In Spain the
expression “Ida y Vuelta” is
used to describe certain styles
within Flamenco that made a
“round-trip” from Spain to Latin
America, mixing with music from
the African slave and Indigenous
populations.
With this idea of
music traveling and music as
creative resistance, LoCura
takes the trip back again mixing
it up with their own Califas
Flamenkito, Reggae, and Cuban
Son styles.
Moved by the
music that crosses borders and
takes root in different lands,
LoCura draws from this creative
‘rebelde’ spirit to cultivate
the cures passed on from our
ancestors.
