Around the World in One Night
LoCura’s Spanish moniker can be interpreted as both “the cure” and “insanity.” The band’s message? Mad revelry is the one true panacea in a wild ’n’ wacky world. Celebrating its ethos through multicultural song and dance, the five-piece Bay Area ensemble crafts an organic fusion of south-of-the-border pop melodies, hot Flamenco and Rumba rhythms, Cali-baked Rasta grooves, and a spectacular performance style. Last year’s debut, Animas, brims with positive vibrations. LoCura puts its ideas into action this week, combining its unique Latin sensibility with the sounds of Bali and the Middle East via must-see openers Gamelan X and Beats Antique on Friday, Jan. 9, at Great American Music Hall.
