-LA GENTE KICKSTARTER-nhttps://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...nn-LA GENTE WEBSITE-nhttp://www.lagentemusicsf.comnnGracias to Emcee Infinite and the entire Bay Area Hip-Hop Community for their love support! Donate to LA GENTE's Kickstarter Today! Lets keep the San Francisco music and art scene alive! nnHelp us complete our 4th album of new original music, new tour and music videos. Campaign ends June 29th!nnLA GENTE is a San Francisco based recording group led by singer-songwriter Rafael Bustamante Sarria. We have been making music, art and producing events in the Bay Area for over 10 years. We perform over 230 concerts a year, consistently sell out major venues and festivals all over the US, from San Francisco to Austin, New Orleans to Miami as well as Europe and Latin America. Even as successful full-time artists living and working in San Francisco, the incredible costs of releasing a professional album: recording, mixing, mastering, pressing, packaging are expensive, especially considering the ever-increasing cost of living in SF. This is why we are calling on you to help us finish this project and do the Bay Area music scene some justice!nnLA GENTE has created our own mix of Reggae, Colombian Cumbia, Hip-Hop, Rock, Salsa, and have integrated rhythms and genres from all over the world into our sound. We strive to make original music that makes the people dance and have a good time, but also makes you think with a positive message addressing the struggles of our communities. nnWe love California and we love San Francisco. This place has always been a home for new music, art, style and culture. But with all the change and displacement that has been occurring, there is a genuine fear that what is so vibrant and unique about this scene is quickly disappearing. Which is why it is so important to us at this time to continue creating and putting out new music representing San Francisco and the Bay. LA GENTE wants to be a strong voice to let people know that we are still here and the Bay Area is still a home for creativity and community! nnWe are also some of the main organizers behind the MAPP (Mission Arts Performance Project): a free music, art and community festival that takes place every two months in Mission District. As well as The ARTE Y TAPAS Performance Series that brings together local chefs, music groups and visual artists. We also have worked many times with The de Young Museum and Carnaval San Francisco and are blessed to consistently collaborate with amazing California artists such as LoCura, Non Stop Bhangra, Bang Data, The Seshen, Candelaria and many other innovators who are keeping this movement alive!nnSo on behalf of everyone in the LA GENTE collective and from me personally: thank you so much for making this Kickstarter campaign successful. This music, message and community are my passion and my mission. I don't have a day job or plan B. I am a full time, life long, dedicated performer and artist. Once again thank you for all the love and support that you have given us over the years. Thank you for helping us make this next album a reality and supporting independent music. We love you and will continue to give you everything we have to give.
