About this event
Mission Cultural Center for Latino Arts welcomes John Santos and friends!
Join us for a Reception, Film Screening and Q&A with Filmmakers and John Santos, followed by a Concert After-Party!
MCCLA is proud to feature the film screening of SANTOS–Skin to Skin.
The film is a portrait of community activist and seven-time Grammy nominee John Santos, a “keeper of the Afro- Caribbean flame.” Rich in musical performances, Santos links the rhythms of his ancestors to contemporary struggles of identity and social justice."
John Santos is far more than a master percussionist, internationally renowned multi-Grammy-nominated San Francisco native, John Santos, is a prolific Afro-Latin bandleader, composer, teacher, writer, producer, and cultural activist with a musical career of over 50 years in the Bay Area! He has worked with acknowledged masters including Cachao, Dizzy Gillespie, Tito Puente, Bebo Valdés, and Eddie Palmieri. Mr. Santos is on the faculty of SF State University, the College of San Mateo, and the California Jazz Conservatory.
His latest CD, Art of the Descarga, was just released (August 7th ) on the Smithsonian/Folkways label.
