SUMMARY:Friday Nights at OMCA with Esotérica Tropical
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Chats at OMCA\n\n        \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFriday Nights at OMCA is the place to be for celebratory and meaningful things to see and be part of\, with plenty of signature  features including two streets packed with Off the Grid food trucks and the OMCA campus alive with music\, dancing\, late-night access to OMCA’s award-winning galleries of art\, history\, and science\, special exhibitions with a Museum ticket\, and more.   \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFriday Nights at OMCA with Esotérica Tropical Program\n\n\n\nJoyful Sounds and Magical Movement! \n\n\n\nGet your body going with a Cuban salsa class taught by Bay Area dancer mover and shaker Diana Aburto Vega. Cuban Salsa style is based in the original form of Salsa rooted in Cuba. It is characterized by Afro Cuban style body movement which includes body isolation and hip movement. In this class we briefly go through the basic movements and steps to apply these influences. Esotérica Tropical casts healing spells with a luminous and healing voice blending folk harp\, Afro-Puerto Rican bomba rhythms\, and electronics. Get your pulse pumping to DJ Father Taj in the 10th Street Amphitheater. \n\n\n\n6—7 pm – Cuban Salsa Class with Diana Aburto Vega\, Oak Street Plaza6—8 pm – Into the Brightness Gallery Activation Hours\, Great Hall6:30—7:30 pm – Esotérica Tropical\, OMCA Garden6:30—8:30 pm – DJ Father Taj\, 10th Street Amphitheater \n\n\n\nAbout The Performers\n\n\n\nEsotérica Tropical casts spells with a luminous voice and songs that invoke full-spectrum healing. Blending folk harp\, Afro-Puerto Rican bomba rhythms\, and electronics\, her music is rooted in a continuous process of discovery and care where trauma is transformed into art. Esotérica Tropical’s songs are a soundtrack for liberatory practices and joyous moods– a space for ritual and ceremony through song and dance. \n\n\n\nBoricua bruja Esotérica Tropical draws inspiration from over 20 years of experience as a healer including studying bodywork\, and practicing traditional medicine and acupuncture.“My songs come from a deep state of listening and meditation—a communion with nature\, while at the river\, the beach\, or staring at a tree or the sky; or from a very emotive disposition\, like the grief over my paternal grandmother’s death and the rage I feel from being a colonial subject. They help me remember my essence\, the love and care that is available\, the strength of my ancestors\, and my own agency.” \n\n\n\nTraveling from Santa Cruz California\, DJ Father Taj is a disciple of the groove. His eclectic style evokes New York City Café’s as well as major all night parties. Beats for days this raver turned DJ is at home on any dancefloor. Father Taj spins music for your mind\, your body\, and your soul! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAccessibility\n\n\n\nOakland Museum of California (OMCA) is committed to providing programs that are accessible\, welcoming\, and inclusive of our community.
