\"CD_release_2014_web-667x1024\"After months of intense work, the Bay Area group Locura is finally ready to release its latest album, titled \u201cDale de Comer.\u201d The band brings a very diverse mix of their traditional influences\u2014Cuban rhythms and rumba Flamenca\u2014while exploring new avenues with reggae, cumbia and ska. The result of this interesting combination of beats, coupled with lyrics in multiple languages, will be first presented during a Feb. 8 concert at The Independent.<\/p>\n

The multilingual band which has its roots in the Mission District and is often confronted with questions regarding their unique style, according to lead singer Kata Miletich.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s funny that nobody can put a label on us,\u201d said Miletich \u201c(And) neither do I.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLocura,\u201d a Spanish word that literally translated means \u201cinsanity,\u201d is what seems to push this local band forward. The group has been around since 2005, diving into a very competitive and oftentimes trying music scene in San Francisco.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you think about how hard is to make a living from doing this, about how many other things we have to do to keep going with our passion\u2014(while) also being able to pay our bills\u2014yes, that\u2019s crazy,\u201d said Miletich. \u201cThat\u2019s not a lot of support for independent art.\u201d<\/p>\n

Miletich, who is half-Spanish and half-American, started singing almost by accident. Born in Zaragoza, Spain, she arrived in her father\u2019s hometown, Angels Camp, Calif., in 1999. A flyer announcing a hippie band\u2019s concert in town led her to become acquainted with two of her current band mates.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey listened to me once and invited me to join them as a singer,\u201d said Miletich. From this first band, Locura was formed\u2014after the musicians relocated to the Bay Area.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor a very long time it was just the three of us and I believe most of our energy came from that, but I\u2019m glad we became bigger and more diverse,\u201d Miletich added.<\/p>\n

For their upcoming show, the band will feature eight musicians and a range of instruments, including a violin, saxophone and a trumpet. Singing mostly in Spanish, over the years the band has built very loyal fanbase, not only among the Latino community\u2014but also among non-Spanish speakers.<\/p>\n

\u201cI found a lot of people that don\u2019t speak Spanish, listen to us, get engaged and want to learn,\u201d said Miletich. \u201cIn that way we are definitely spreading the Hispanic culture around.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
