Nosotros opening for Bay Area band LoCura at the next Latin Underground.
Nosotros, with special guest Felipe Ruibal, will be opening for the San Francisco based band, LoCura at the next edition of The Latin Underground on Saturday, March 13th, 2010. The show will be happening at The Latin Underground's new home at the beautiful Hotel Andaluz in downtown Albuqueruque. LoCura is on the road heading to Austin TX where they were selected to perform at the prestigous South By Southwest Music & Film Conference. LoCura’s music is strongly rooted in Flamenco, deepened through their time living in southern Spain and traveling in Morocco. But it's in the way LoCura mixes and moves in and out of other musical styles, like Reggae, Cuban Son, and Hip-Hop carried by the powerful performance and the soulful vocals of lead singer Kata, that results in an irresistible desire to move and be moved.
Hotel Andaluz is located on the corner of copper and 2nd street in downtown Albuquerque. Doors open at 8:30pm. Tickets are $10 at the door. For more info, visit www.thelatinunderground.com

David Diaz Music From The Heart Endowment Is Established
Jose “David” Diaz was born on October 24, 1973 to Joe and Consuelo Diaz in Las Cruces, New Mexico. As David grew up, he became a brilliant multi-instrumentalist, skilled singer, compassionate teacher, gifted composer and musical mentor.
Music coursed through David's veins like oxygen. Music, sweet music, possessed David's personality like a man touched by God. To wit: a virtuoso, a saint, a comedian, a Holy Fool in the name of his supreme belief -- music. He was a buddy, a mentor, and with a saxophone or microphone in his hands, David was a mellifluous, transcendent (if not mischievous) cherub -- quick to jest, quicker to love.
David was a former member of Nosotros, current member of Felonious Groove Foundation and Fantastic Planet, and a music instructor at Dimensions School of Dance and Music in Albuquerque, NM when he passed on April 9, 2009.
In honor of David, his family established The David Diaz Music from the Heart Endowment managed by the Community Foundation of Southern New Mexico. The David Diaz Music from the Heart Endowment will provide financial assistance to music programs and scholarships for young musicians in New Mexico.
