LOS VILLALOBOS BROTHERS + LAS CAFETERAS – https://www.oxnardperformingarts.com/villaloboscafeteras.html
February 1, 2019 | 7 pm

Born and raised in Xalapa, Veracruz, Mexico, The Villalobos Brothers are one of today’s leading Contemporary Mexican ensembles. Their original compositions and arrangements masterfully blend and celebrate the richness of Mexican folk music with the intricate harmonies of jazz and classical music. They deliver an intoxicating brew of brilliance, cadence and virtuosity that awaken the senses and mesmerize the listener.

Born and raised east of the Los Angeles river, Las Cafeteras are remixing roots music and telling modern day stories. Their Afro-Mexican beats, rhythms, and rhymes deliver inspiring lyrics that document stories of a community seeking love and justice in the concrete jungle of LA. Using traditional Son Jarocho instruments like the jarana, requinto, quijada (donkey jawbone) and tarima (a wooden platform), Las Cafeteras sing in English, Spanish, and Spanglish and add a remix of sounds, from rock to hip-hop to rancheras. LA Times described Las Cafeteras as “uniquely Angeleno mishmash of punk, hip-hop, beat music, cumbia and rock … live, they’re magnetic.”

Tickets are available at the Oxnard Performing Arts box office opened Monday – Saturday 12pm to 6pm, by calling (805)486-2424 or visiting oxnardperformingarts.com

AMBER BROWN IS NOT A CRAYON
Friday, March 1, 2019 | 10 am & 4:30 pm |  $3-$5
Grades 1-4 | 55 minutes

Amber Brown is having what may be the worst year of her life. She and Justin Daniels were the perfect team: they laughed at each other’s jokes, sat next to each other in class, and stayed best friends when Justin’s dad had to move away. But now things are different. Now, Justin’s house has been sold and he is going to Alabama; that’s too far from New Jersey to think about.
ArtsPower’s uniquely funny and forthright musical portrays a feisty young girl who refuses to let her problems get the better of her. You’ll laugh and cry with Amber as she learns some valuable lessons about the virtues of patience and the meaning of forgiveness.
Themes: Family Relationships, Language/Communication Skills, Literature-Based, Musical, Values-Based
