lots of excitement and a lot of fuzz,\u201d said Mejia. \u201cIt\u2019s a word of truly Venezuelan origin that\u2019s friendly and kind of cute, even the way you spell it phonetically.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At a time when there is a major exodus of Venezuelan people fleeing the economic and political hardships of the South American nation, San Francisco has become a destination for new immigrants seeking a better life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOne of our biggest responsibilities as a band is to work in favor of the Venezuelan and Latino diaspora,\u201d said Mejia. \u201cPeople come here, and they are far away from their homelands, and it\u2019s up to us to provide that continuity, that care as a community through our live events.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From its food to its music, Venezuela is increasingly adding new colors to the rainbow of Bay Area Latinx expressions. \u201cIt\u2019s not just about making good music but bringing people together,\u201d said Mejia. \u201cAnd we take that very seriously in Bulul\u00fa.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, check out <a
