La Mezcla and Brava Present
Fandango on 24th St: La Rama in the Mission
December 8, 2024
Sunday, 6-8:30pm
Brava Cabaret
Join La Mezcla and Brava out in the neighborhood on Sunday, Dec 8, starting at 6pm! We are excited to be en comunidad with the Bay Area Son Jarocho community in celebration of La Rama! La Rama is a traditional festivity from Veracruz, Mexico that takes place during the December season before Christmas where community members parade through the neighborhoods singing and carrying a decorated branch. Akin to Christmas caroling, they stop at various houses/locations to sing for a bit and then continue on to a final party location for a fandango. A fandango is a participatory musical celebration with music from the Sotavento region of Mexico that has folks improvising music and dance like a jam session. Brava's Cabaret Theater will be the final stop of La Rama and host the celebratory fandango.
