Diana Gameros: Latinindie singersongwriter in San Francisco

On Saturday, my son and I visited Pirate Cat Radio, a low-power community station in San Francisco, to see our favorite Bay Area singer/guitarist Diana Gameros perform. Diana plays a wonderful mix of traditional Latin songs and her own soulful, passionate songs. At Pirate Cat, Diana sung a new original tune that was stirring, beautiful, and perfect for a sunny day after endless rain. When I got home, I found a video of her playing the song on piano at a recent concert celebrating the rich culture of her home Ciudad Jurez, Mexico. For another taste of Diana's diverse style, below is a video of her and a full band performing my other favorite of her originals, Para Papa. Diana's next live show is Friday, March 11, at Berkeley's La Pea Cultural Center for an event with poet-musician MamaCoAtl tied to International Women's Day and supporting the No+Bloodshed campaign against violence in Mexico. Diana also plays solo most Friday and Saturday evenings at the excellent Roosevelt Tamale Parlor in the Mission District.
