Afro-Brazilian, Afro-Latin Funk Extravaganza at CAFE DU NORD
Where: Cafe Du Nord
Date: 2007-08-17 20:00:00
Type:
BOCA DO RIO: Boca Do Rio music is a dynamic mix of forró, rock, jazz, funk, rap, reggae, and funk, undergirded by the syncopated beat of samba. While it has been argued that Brazilian music in general is marked by a fusion of influences only fitting for a country with such diversity of ethnicities, cultures, and races, Boco's music offers a new take on Brazils 's worldly music. Their music no t only feels like a warm ocean breeze, but also a frenetic carnival vibe of Rio's sambas. FUGA: Members of Fuga! were born and raised in El Paso. The band relocated to the Oakland Bay Area in 2005 where they continue to work with immigrant communities and social causes. Their 2003 record, "Desde la Frontera," became a hit in El Paso, Juárez and cities across the southwest. Fuga! is also working with renowned Grammy-nominated Latin music producer Greg Landau, whose credits include Maldita Vecindad, Patato Valdes, Buena Vista Social Club's Juan de Marcos Gonzalez, Susan Baca, Bobi Cespedes, Dr. Loco, Pete Seeger, Omar Sosa, John Santos, Pancho Quinto, Los Mocosos and David Byrne's record label Luaka Bop. Maisha Productions also welcomes special guest Dj Boima.

Colbie Caillat
Where: Bimbo's 365 Club
Date: 2007-12-16 20:00:00
Type:
Malibu native Colbie Calliat's style is thoughful, engaging acoustic pop in tune with Jack Johnson, Joni Mitchell and Fleetwood Mac circa 'Rumours,' which coincindentally, her father, Ken Calliat, co-produced. "A great song," says Caillat, "should lift your heart, warm the soul and make you feel good." Taking her own sound advice, Calliat's debut album 'Coco' is simply crammed full of them. The Kooks (named for the song appearing on David Bowie's 'Hunky Dory') met while attending Brighton Music College in the mid-2000s. Each shared a liking for the Police, the Strokes, the Everly Brothers, and Funkadelic, thus forming the sweet and precocious sounds they have made. Before the end of 2005, the band's 'You Don't Love Me' gave the band its first ever Top 20 hit. Their debut full-length is 'Inside In/Inside Out.'

MARY ANN PIETTE: Saving Power at Peak Hours FREE Event - no RSVP or Tickets Required! California needs new, responsive demand-side energy technologies, to ensure that periods of tight electricity supply on the grid don't turn into power outages. Led by Berkeley Lab’s Mary Ann Piette, the California Energy Commission (through its Public Interest Energy Research Program) has established a Demand Response Research Center that addresses two motivations for adopting demand responsiveness: reducing average electricity prices, and preventing future electricity crises. The research seeks to understand factors that influence "what works" in Demand Response. Piette’s team is investigating the two types of demand response – load response and price response – that may influence and reduce the use of peak electric power through automated controls, peak pricing, advanced communications, and other strategies. Would you be willing to consider one or some of these? Please join us to learn more about these developments.
