I have two (2) free tickets to the Gina Chavez concert this Saturday (3/7) at 7:30pm, Carnegie Lecture Hall in Oakland. Part of the Calliope concert series. Very bummed I can't go, but I'll feel better if two others can enjoy them. :) Thanks. Amy "A multi-ethnic Latin folk pop songstress, Gina Chavez is a 10-time Austin Music Award winner. Her bilingual record, *Up.Rooted*, topped both the Amazon and Latin iTunes charts following a feature on NPR’s All Things Considered <http://www.npr.org/2014/04/18/304574157/on-latest-album-gina-chavez-unearths-her-latin-roots> and has been hailed by The Boston Globe, USA Today, and Texas Monthly. Fresh off a 10-country tour as a cultural ambassador with the U.S. State Department, Chavez’s passionate collection of bilingual songs take audiences on a journey through the Americas, blending the sounds and rhythms of the region with tension and grace. Her Spanish-language anthem, “Siete-D” (Grand Prize winner of the 2014 John Lennon Songwriting Contest) recounts her experience volunteering in a gang-dominated suburb of San Salvador where she is a co-founder of The Niñas Arriba College Fund for young Latinas."
