SUMMARY:Saúl Sierra with Cascada de Flores
LOCATION:The Sound Room\, 2147 Broadway\, Oakland\, CA 94612
DESCRIPTION:Cascada de Flores brings to the Sound Room a mix of nostalgia a
 nd tradition from Mexico and Cuba on a night that promises to be unforgett
 able. The core members of Cascada de Flores have been re-imagining Mexican
  and Latin traditions for years.\n\nAfter falling for Mexican music as a y
 oung woman\, Arwen Lawrence toured with Grammy-winning L.A. mariachi heavy
 weights\, Los Camperos de Nati Cano\, an apprenticeship that honed her ski
 lls and deepened her love for Mexico's musical language. With them\, she r
 ecorded and performed in venues such as the Teatro Degollado in Guadalajar
 a and Lincoln Center of New York. Nati always nudged her towards what she 
 already did naturally: to sing with heart.\n\nJorge Liceaga grew up in Mex
 ico City\, buying his first guitar with the money he'd earned shining shoe
 s. Self taught\, he was later mentored by local legend Leonardo 'El León'
  Salas\, a transplant from Yucatan\, who taught Jorge to 'guasanguearla' (
 play with that special Yucatecan swing). Jorge followed his sister and fou
 nd himself amongst local masters of artistic communication: The flamencos 
 of Gitanerías. From them he received a raw and complicated education\, wh
 ich contributed to his special sensitivity as accompanist.\n\nFor the past
  20 years Saúl Sierra has been a member of some of the leading bands in t
 he Bay Area\, including The John Santos Quintet/Sextet\, Bobi Cespedes’ 
 band\, Dr. Loco’s Rocking Jalapeño Band\, El Tren Trío\, Anthony Blea 
 y su Charanga\, The Snake Trío\, Jesús Díaz y su QBA\, The Bay Area Afr
 o-Cuban All Stars\, The Venezuelan Music Project\, Corazón Sur\, Sababa b
 and\, Cascada de Flores\, SJZ Collective\, LaTiDo.\n\nMarco Diaz is an acc
 omplished recording musician who has shared the stage with Grammy Award wi
 nning artist\, Israel “Cachao” Lopez\, Nelson Gonzales\, Jimmy Bosch\,
  Pete “El Conde” Rodriguez\, Ska Cubano (Europe)\, Tito Rojas\, Nino S
 egarra\, Anthony Cruz\, Anthony Blea\, Jovino Santos Neto\, Joe Santiago\,
  and is an integral member of the John Santos sextet\, and the musical dir

 olinist known for performing traditional Mexican son jarocho music and col
 laborating on Latin jazz and Afro-Latin coalition projects.\n\nBrian Rice
