LoCura
Great American Music Hall
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 9 p.m., $15; 885-0750, www.gamh.com.
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 rhumba rhythms, Cali-baked Rasta grooves, and a spectacular performance style. Last year's debut, Animas, brims with positive vibrations.
