Hi all! I had sent out a previous email saying we couldn’t announce La Doña is playing our main stage until after her show with Durand Jones at the Fremont. Well, the second show is tonight, so go ahead and announce her now. The updated schedule is attached, including pronunciations. La Doña is an exciting San Francisco-based Reggaeton musician who sings and plays trumpet. Her band is excellent. Here are some videos, so you can check her out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBpyW00wsVE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1aBqOKHTDKM&list=OLAK5uy_nMEFLqnmn3BlBZVzvcQGPxYrtf0U8fmi0&index=4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NT3RIHfhoas Here’s a quick bio: Growing up in San Francisco’s Bernal Heights neighborhood, this activist and educator started her career at age 7, playing trumpet and percussion in her family’s conjunto band. Now reggaeton singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Cecilia Peña-Govea performs her signature mix of Latin rhythms and San Francisco hip hop under the name La Doña, encapsulating various musical genres to express who she is. She coined the term “Femmeton” to describe her reggaeton tunes with a feminist perspective, featuring songs about love, gentrification, and what she calls “the radical joys of being a queer brown woman in the Bay Area.” La Doña has won accolades for eclectic, fresh, urgent songs described by *New York Times Magazine* as “songs that matter now.” She definitely fits eclectic, world music and Latin shows. She has some music that could fit other shows, too, so please explore her stuff and play it!
