Just a moment of listening to BULULÚ reveals why they have adopted this name for themselves. BULULÚ is a dynamic Latin music band known for their original repertoire that delves into the rich influences of Venezuela and the Caribbean. Their performances encompass an exciting mix of styles\, ranging from calypso and salsa to cumbia\, son\, boogaloo\, bachata\, and more. BULULÚ stands out through its diverse identity\, inclusive LGBTQ+ community\, and a majority of female band members. Led by Venezuelan-born percussionist Lali Mejia\, the band delivers a fun and vibrant show with their top-tier San Francisco Bay Area ensemble. \n\n				\n				\n            \n\n        \n\n    \n	\n        \n            \n\n			\n            \n				\n				                    About Cheo Gómez\n				\n				                    From Barranquilla\, Colombia\, José de la Cruz Gómez Rojas\, known as Cheo Gómez\, is a prominent Colombian dancer\, choreographer\, and percussionist\, with extensive experience in teaching and disseminating Afro-Colombian culture\, especially in the area of ​​the Carnaval de Barranquilla. My career has spanned diverse artistic fields\, from dance to music\, and I have worked with traditional folkloric groups of Afro-Colombian culture\, bringing Colombia’s legacy to the international stage. I am dedicated to teaching and sharing the traditions of Afro-Colombian dance and percussion to people of all ages and levels\, promoting the cultural richness of my country\, in every presentation and class I teach\, both in Colombia and internationally. \n\n				\n				\n            \n\n        \n\n    \n	\n        \n            \n\n			\n            \n				\n				                    About DJ Juanny\n				\n				                    DJ JUANNY draws inspiration from the sounds of Puerto Rico\, the Dominican Republic\, Jamaica and the UK\, often blended with samples from films\, TV\, and pop culture. After a stint living in Miami\, JUANNY became passionate about bringing the emerging club sounds of his adopted home back to the Bay Area. This led to the creation of the party series and netlabel\, AMOR DIGITAL. At the onset of the pandemic\, JUANNY dove into music production\, eventually releasing the 4-track EP ‘SUCHITOTO’ via the seminal Mexico City label\, N.A.A.F.I. His first vinyl release\, ‘MIATA’\, was released through the Oakland label NO BIAS. \n\n				\n				\n            \n\n        \n\n    \n	\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSponsors\n\n\n\nFriday Nights at OMCA with Off the Grid is sponsored by the Oakland Museum Women’s Board and Bank of America. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nReturn to Events
