Spanish verses in a universal language

NATALIA LAFOURCADE

S

anta Monica Pier has already made its mark in the memory of Natalia Lafourcade. While in Los Angeles several years ago to work on a tribute album to Mexican composer Agustin Lara, she made sure to spend an afternoon near the beach, enjoying ice cream from her perch on the pier and taking in a picturesque Southern California sunset. She also shared with a friend the music she was working on at the time, the ocean providing a beautiful backdrop.

But when Lafourcade returns to Santa Monica Pier on Thursday night to headline the Twilight Concert Series this week, she’ll be putting her music into the ears of a decidedly larger audience. She can hardly wait.

“I find it amazing the opportunity to share my concert during the summer in Santa Monica,” she said. “It’s going to be my

first time giving a concert there.”

Participating in the annual outdoor series was a no-brainer for the Mexican singersongwriter, who saw the invitation as a way to share her heartfelt Spanish tunes with fans and first-time listeners alike.

Lafourcade will be performing mostly from her latest album, “Hasta la Raiz” (“To the Root”), which was released last year and which was honored as Best Latin Rock Urban or Alternative Album at the 58th edition of the Grammy Awards. One of her singles from the album, “Nunca Es Suficiente,” has garnered nearly 40 million views on YouTube, while the title track has racked up another 35 million. She will also pull from other parts of her catalog.

The 32-year-old’s songs are highlighted by lyrics that are so poetic and linguistically nuanced that translations don’t always do them justice. She’s supported by her band,

La Forquetina, and their alternative pop-rock blend can sound as airy as Florence and the Machine or as haunting as Lana Del Rey. Lafourcade said her music has been well-received on her American tour, a dynamic that empowers her to continue her still-blossoming career as a singer and songwriter.

“I just play my music and sing with my heart,” she said. “I feel like there is a special vibe [in the U.S.] with my music now. It’s incredible to see how many people got to see our show and also that they seem to be enjoying it. That makes me so happy and grateful. So I hope I can keep doing this for many years from now and want to thank all those who have let me connect to their hearts.”

Asked about how she plans to approach a large outdoor concert where many attendees may not be familiar with her music,

Lafourcade said she hopes to win over new listeners by the time the evening in Santa Monica is over.

“We are so excited about going and I’m sure it’s going to be a great time,” she said.

“I think we just have to do the same as always — play it and sing it from the heart. I also love it when they don’t know my music.

It’s always a great way to share the universe within yourself and see the reaction at the end of the set list. I can’t wait.”

Lafourcade hinted that her set might not be exclusively delivered Spanish, although she didn’t disclose what other tunes she might bring to the pier stage.

“Let’s see if there is a special song in English,” she said. “Sometimes I do sing in English. That would be a surprise. ... To me, music is a universal language so the language doesn’t matter, and I love it when we all can feel the same magic in the air.”

pm. Tickets are $5 but kids ages 12 and under get in for free.

The Historical Walking Tour is a great way to learn about some of Santa Monica’s vibrant past. The tour runs along the coastline and explores landmarks like the Looff Hipodrome, aka the Merry-Go Round Building and the iconic Yacht Harbor. The tour gives stories of bygone places and interesting tales of celebrities’ connections to Santa Monica. These free, informative tours take place every Saturday and Sunday at 11 am and 12 pm.

The pier offers plenty of other seasonal activities too. Come October the Front Porch Cinema series will return. Kicking off with Big Hero 6, the pier area transforms into a backyard- style picnic complete with music, food, and screenings of family films.

Don’t want the music to stop after the TCS? HUSH Concerts frequently brings silent discos to the pier. Unlike a conventional concert, any beat drops by the DJ transmit wirelessly to the headphones of attendees instead of blaring for everyone else to hear. August 20 marks the next silent disco featuring DJ’s Subsuelo, Lamp and Late Night Laggers.

In addition to all of these events and activities, the pier is home to a hub of unique shopping and dining. Enjoy live music and drinks at Rusty’s and great food at the newly remodeled Albright restaurant, featuring some of the best seafood offerings in Santa Monica. Shop for items brimming with Americana at 66 to Cali or local gems at Oatman Rockshop.

he Twilight Concert Series will leave you with plenty of summer memories, but there’s even more at the Santa Monica Pier to keep the fun going year- round.

The most striking visual when arriving at the iconic pier is the towering Ferris wheel at Pacific Park. You’ll find all you could want from the pier in this mini amusement park: corn dogs, rides and game booths. Tickets are available for unlimited rides online or at the ticket booth.

Along with Pacific Park, there’s more games to enjoy with the Play land Arcade.

“The couple who skeeballs together stays together,” Executive Director of the Santa Monica Pier Jay Farrand jokes. “The amusement park, classic arcade and carousel are always fun.”

Indeed, the pier offers much in way of old school charm. Along with their fully operational Historic Carousel, pier goers can enjoy refreshments at the vintage soda fountain Soda Jerks. For an even simpler pleasure, the pier is a popular fishing spot.

But what if rides aren’t enough to scratch your adrenaline itch? Go above and beyond with the Trapeze School. Don’t be scared off by the word ‘school’- these classes can teach anyone how to safely embrace their inner carnie and fly across trapezes. The spot also features aerial acrobatics and trampolines. If all of that sounds intimidating, don’t sweat it- the school prides itself on accessibility. “We have opportunities for everyone from the thrillseeker to fear- facer, athlete to couch potato, casual flyer to serious aerialist,” their website reads. The Trapeze School also offers multi- week programs including summer ones for kids ages 6- 14. Full class schedule and registration is available online at losangeles.trapezeschool.com.

Aerial acrobatics a little too extreme for your tastes? The Santa Monica Aquarium has plenty of sights and activities that don’t involve your feet leaving the ground. Home to over 100 species of marine life, the aquarium invites visitors to “Heal the Bay” through education. Many fun exhibits are up and running like the Kelp Forest and Touch Tanks. The public can even help feed the sea stars every Tuesday and Friday at 2:30

WEEK 5

AUG 4TH - LATIN

NATALIA LAFOURCADE with MONSIEUR PERINÉ The most awarded artist of the last edition of the Latin Grammys started her successful career at age 14, when she joined the pop group Twist. It was then that she decided to devote her life to music and started attending music school.

She learned to play guitar and piano, as well as studied singing and dancing.

Later on, she attended a music training

program at Berklee College of Music in Boston and, when she was 16, she started writing her own songs.

In 2002, at age 17, she signed her first record deal with Sony Music and made her debut album: 'Natalia Lafourcade', which was produced by Loris Ceroni and Aureo Baqueiro.

In 2005, she released her second album: 'Casa', which she wrote along with her band 'La Forquetina'.

In 2006, after spending nine months in Canada, she wrote the instrumental album 'The Four Seasons of Love', which she recorded with the Youth Symphony Orchestra of the State of Veracruz. At the

same time, she also wrote some of the songs for her next solo album: 'Hu Hu Hu', which was released in 2009.

Her fifth album is the magnificent 'Mujer Divina - Tribute to Agustin Lara', which has set common ground between generations and highlights the romantic character of Mexican hearts. Musicians such as Gilberto Gil, Vicentico, Miguel Bosé, Lila Downs, Adrián Dargelos (Babasónicos), Meme (Café Tacuba), Jorge Drexler, León Larregui (Zoé), Leonardo de Lozanne, Leonel García and Kevin Johansen contributed to this album.

The album has become Platinum, reaching over 90,000 copies sold one year after its release. It has also remained in the Top Ten best-selling albums in iTunes for several months and was nominated for three Latin Grammy Awards, in the categories of: Best Alternative Music Album, Best Recording Engineering for an Album and Best Music

Video, extended version. It is available for sale in physical and digital stores in Mexico, Latin America, Europe and the United States.

Her last album released on March 2015, Hasta la raíz, came out as No.1 on iTunes and Deezer. Her first two singles Hasta la raiz and Lo que construímos, were positioned in the first place of Mexico´s viral 50 spotify top chart, and on the top ten of the global category. This album has become platinum in Mexico and gold in Italy.

In this year's edition of the Latin Grammy awards, she won 5 of 6 nominations, including: Record of the year, Song of the year, Best alternative music album, Best alternative song, Best engineered album.

Hasta la raíz, is now nominee to best latin album for the Grammys 2016.

RÜFÜS DU SOL

BIOS FROM PAGE 6 to Berlin. Two years after their platinum selling debut album, RÜFÜS return with their follow up record, Bloom, and as the title would suggest, the band have blossomed into the tour-de-force that Atlas hinted at.

Bloom picks up right where Atlas left off, it's dreamy vocals, moody synths and driving kicks. This time delivered with the confidence of a band who understands their place in the world; as musicians and as people. There is a maturity in Jon, James and Tyrone's production work that comes from spending two years on the road testing new songs. They've figured out what works and more importantly, why.

Bloom is the product of isolation and saturation. The songwriters either being alone and away from friends and family, or at home soaked in familiarity. The only constant in the writing process was the three songwriters spending each day writing with the goal of creating a feeling. They start each project with an idea of a feeling, a setting, a location or a scene in their minds, and try to soundtrack that moment. Hunt says, “We were writing feelings more than songs. We were ready to cut a lot of the parts or elements to make sure there was this sense of exercising restraint, you don't want everything to sound big. If something goes down to almost nothing it makes the high points sound 20 times higher. And if you over-think something it can kill the spark sometimes."

While making the album the trio found themselves dipping other mediums, filling their screen savers with underwater photography of animals.

"That inspired the production, in some abstract way," Hunt says. "You get that feeling of floating underwater, the way water is darker the deeper you get."

A bit of aqua-Googling later, they fell down an online sinkhole that told them a group of jellyfish is called a 'bloom' - and the trio found their album title.

"The double meaning for Bloom felt perfect, things that can grow and flourish and open up over time," Hunt says.

As the release of Bloom approaches it feels as if RÜFÜS have already broken the shackles of 2nd album syndrome. Early single You Were Right, is already certified Gold in their home country and has just won the ARIA award (Australian Grammy) for Best Dance Release. While the 3rd offering Innerbloom, at 9 minutes 38 seconds, is an ode to everything the band loves about dance music and everything Bloom means to them, Lindqvist explains; "For us personally, we were each drawn to electronic music because of the euphoric nature of it. At its core, it brings people together to dance. I'm sure I'm not the first person to say this, but our favourite artists are our favourite because we've shared moments listening to them with friends or family that you can't recreate. Moments that stay with you. We really wanted to creSEE BIOS PAGE 10

WEEK 7

AUG 18TH - CLASSIC

MAVIS STAPLES with THE SUFFERS Mavis Staples is living, breathing history.

She is an alchemist of American music, having continuously crossed genre lines like no musician since Ray Charles.

Weaving herself into the very fabric of gospel, soul, folk, pop, R B, blues, rock, and hip hop over the last 60 years, this iconic singer has seen and sung through so many changes, always rising up to meet every road.

Now in her seventh decade, with the release of her new album Livin' on a High Note (ANTIH), she is only gaining momentum. Produced by M. Ward with songs by Neko Case, Justin Vernon, Nick Cave, Ben Harper, Tune-Yards, Aloe Blacc and others,

the album serves as a summation and furtherance of her illustrious career. Refusing to fade away, she continues to tour incessantly, remaining as vital, engaged, and true as always. There is no persona; she is, simply and untouchably, Mavis - and Livin' on a High Note is the symphony of her life.

“I think about this album as a new beginning in my career,” says Mavis. “I'm living on a high note, I'm floating on air. I know I don't have as much time on this Earth as I've already had, but I see it as saying, 'Mavis has been here, y'all.' Before I move on, I just want to leave some Mavis with you that you're not used to hearing. I want to leave you with some joy and love, and some don't-forget-me songs.”

And with those words, her high note is revealed not as a pinnacle of ease and wealth but as a righteous life. Mavis is here, having weaved in and through all that fabric for all these many years, to show us that true joy lies simply in living for others. It's the sermon Dr. King gave all those years ago, and we must be grateful that she is able to echo it for us now. Mavis takes usnot only there, but back, up, and through.

Since her first recording at age 13 in 1954, Mavis Staples has learned from, worked with, and schooled countless legends, and has brought her own timeless talent to every performance. From the Delta-inflected gospel sound she helped create in the 1950s with her father, Pops, and her brother and sisters as The Staple Singers, to the freedom songs of the Civil Rights era, to pop radio stardom during the Stax era with hits “I'll Take You There” and “Respect Yourself,” to The Last Waltz, to serving as muse to both Bob Dylan SEE BIOS PAGE 12

WEEK 8

AUG 25TH - 90'S ALT

SAVE FERRIS with CIBO MATTO & JAKE DAVIS BAND (Rusty's Emerging Artist Competition Winner)

SAVE FERRIS is a ska-punk band formed circa 1995 in Orange County, Southern California. Their name is a reference to the 1986 film Ferris Bueller's Day Off. The band formed after the dissolution of a number of Southern California bands.

With Monique Powell as manager, front person, and co-songwriter, the band began to book shows around Southern California to a great underground response.

Financed by Powell's sister, the band released their debut EP "Introducing SAVE FERRIS" on Powell's label, Starpool Records, in 1996. They ended up selling close to 20,000 copies of their EP out of the trunks of their cars, with huge support from Orange

County independent record shops and fans.

That year, Powell provided vocals on the Reel Big Fishsong "She Has A Girlfriend Now" on their album "Turn the Radio Off" (Mojo).

With Powell as manager and lead, and as favorites of KROQ radio's legendary Rodney on the Rock, SAVE FERRIS created a presence on LA's KROQ radio, possibly being the first unsigned band to do this in LA alternative radio history. Later that year, the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences gave the band a Grammy showcase award for best unsigned band, earning them a recording contract with Epic Records (SONY).

The band released their debut full-length album for Epic in 1997. "It Means Everything" featured several re-recorded tracks from the EP, several new songs, and, on Powell's urging, a cover of Dexy's Midnight Runners' "Come on Eileen," which the band released as their first official single, and what was to become their most successful single. The band also released "The World is New" as a single which was featured in the film "The Big Hit" starring Mark Wahlburg. Olympic medal winner Tara Lipinski used "The World is New" in her debut program as a professional skater in the nationally telecast 1998 Skate TV Championships.

The band toured extensively in support of "It Means Everything", opening for bands such as Sugar Ray, The Offspring, and Reel Big Fish. In April 1998, they made their television debut on HBO's music series "REVERB" and made an on-screen appearance in the cult classic teen film, "10 Things I Hate About You". The album sold over 400,000 copies, and spawned three Top Ten hits in both Japan and Mexico. With two singles in the Billboard top 100 and full rotation on alternative radio all over the

OHIO PLAYERS

world, SAVE FERRIS has managed to go Platinum internationally.

Winter 1998 saw the departure of their drummer. After a thunderously successful main stage tour with the Vans Warped Tour, the band began writing their follow-up to "It Means Everything".

The appropriately-titled "Modified" was released in October 1999. The album saw the band moving away from their ska-punk roots and into poppunk territory. The band toured nationally with the band "Lit", of hit single "My Own Worst Enemy" fame. SAVE FERRIS continued to tour in support of "Modified" throughout 2000 and 2001. In August and September 2001 the band did a short tour of the UK. In the winter of 2002, SAVE FERRIS had the rare opportunity to play front and center at the nationally broadcast Winter Olympics Snowboarding Championships in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Still fronted by their original lead singer, SAVE FERRIS has been through a number of changes in their musical lineup through the years.

Powell self-financed what she called the "For the Fans" SAVE FERRIS US tour in 2003.

On March 29, 2003 at Ska Summit 2003 in Las Vegas, SAVE FERRIS played on the main stage to a thunderously positive response.

Other appearances of note Ms. Powell has made: "Mayor of the Sunset Strip" film, "Roswell" network television show, "The Conan O'Brien Show", "Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher", MTV's Loveline with Dr. Drew, the "Keenan Ivory Wayans" show, and the "Late Show with Craig Kilbourne".

WEEK 9

SEPT 1ST - INDIE ROCK

UNKNOWN MORTAL ORCHESTRA with STEADY HOLIDAY The threads of our past never unravel, they hover like invisible webs, occasionally glistening due to a sly angle of the sun. On Multi-Love, Unknown Mortal Orchestra frontman and multi-instrumentalist Ruban Nielson reflects on relationships: airy, humid longing, loss, the geometry of desire that occurs when three people align. Where Nielson addressed the pain of being alone on II, Multi-Love takes on the complications of being together.

Multi-Love adds dimensions to the band's already kaleidoscopic approach, with Nielson exploring a newfound appreciation for synthesizers. The new songs channel with the spirit of psych innovators without ignoring the last 40 years of music, forming a flowing, cohesive whole that reflects restless creativity. Cosmic escapes and disco rhythms speak to developing new vocabulary, while Nielson's vocals reach powerful new heights.

“It felt good to be rebelling against the typical view of what an artists is today, a curator,” he says. “It's more about being someone who makes things happen in con-

STEADY HOLIDAY

crete ways. Building old synthesizers and bringing them back to life, creating sounds that aren't quite like anyone else's. I think that's much more subversive.”

While legions of artists show fidelity to the roots of psychedelia, Unknown Mortal Orchestra shares the rare quality that makes the genre's touchstones so vital, constant exploration.

WEEK 10

SEPT 8TH - DISCO

OHIO PLAYERS with HOLY GHOST! The Ohio Players came into musical prominence in the 1970's as pioneers of street funk and underground R&B. After signing with Mercury Records in 1974 through 1977 The Ohio Players landed three consecutive platinum albums “Skin Tight, “Fire”, and “Honey”. Two number one singles on the billboard pop charts “Fire” and “Love Rollercoaster” and five number one R&B singles “Funky Worm”,”Fire”,”Sweet Sticky Thing”, “Love Rollercoaster,” and “Who'd She Coo”. The Ohio Players traveled the world and produced more than a dozen albums and received 14 gold and platinum awards for their labors. They also appeared on many national television programs from Dick Clark, Don Kushner, to David Letterman. Since then there is a long list of Artists who have sampled or re-recorded their material to list a few: Snoop Dogg, Puff Daddy, Salt & Peppa, Too Short, Sound garden, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Paul Jackson Jr., and Alex Bugnon.

Currently the band consists of 10 members 4 of which are original members.

James “Diamond” Williams (Drums), Billy Beck (Keyboard), Clarence Willis (Lead Guitar), and Robert Kuumba,(Percussion).

One might think the band members could now sit back and count their gold and platinum records, enjoy the memories and fade into an easy retirement. Nothing could be further from the truth. These guys have managed to keep busy and have been entertaining crowds of people all over the world who sing their songs and dance to the melodies and funky grooves. The Ohio Players today are one of the few bands from the 70's era who still currently performs all of their music using no computers or samplers to enhance their musical production.

The Ohio Players are thankful for still having a large loyal fan base who come to the shows and are still enthusiastic to hear the original sounds from the 70's.

The Ohio Players are enthusiastic and eager with the dawn of their new release.

“This is your Night” The group's first new release in 13 years. After 38yrs in the business this group is still setting stages on “Fire” and riding their own “Love Rollercoaster”.

Twilight Concerts insider’s guide TICKETS No tickets necessary, this is pure free Summer fun (remember that?) all thanks to our partners and sponsors who have brought us another season of awesome free concerts at the beach. Make sure to show them some love.

TIME 7 – 10 p.m., but those in the know stake out a good spot early.

METRO EXPO Arrive in style on the new EXPO line. No parking, no traffic, no hassles.

WEATHER & ATTIRE It never gets too cold, but sometimes it gets a little chilly once the sun goes down. So bring something or head up to the Pier Tent on the deck to grab this year's limited-edition sweatshirt or t-shirt!

CONCERT GARDEN There is a 21-and-over Concert Garden featuring refreshments from Boulevard and Duvel beers, Deep Eddy Vodka, and an assortment of cocktails and non-alcoholic beverages. Do not miss this view.

PARKING $$ We highly recommend alternate transport for a hassle-free experience (EXPO, Bus, Breeze Bike Share, rideshare, skateboard, walk, llama), but if you need to drive, parking is available in the 1550 Pacific Coast Highway Lot next to the Pier on a firstcome, first-served basis. Those wanting to avoid long waits and higher fees should try

one of the municipal lots a few blocks inland around 2nd/Colorado or 4th/Olympic.

Be warned that parking by the beach is expensive! $20 after 4pm! Yikes! But there is a new Carpool Discount. Cars with 4 or more people get a $5 voucher to redeem at the bike valet so pile in.
