Neighborhood Concert: Locos por Juana

“Locos por Juana pulls listeners into a reverse Gulf Stream churning through the Straits of Florida south to Jamaica, Venezuela and Colombia, and over to Puerto Rico,” said the Los Angeles Times. Vocalist Itagui Correa, guitarist Mark Kondrat, and drummer Javier Delgado form the band’s core, though they frequently incorporate trombone and percussion soloists. This Grammy-nominated, bilingual, Latin jam-band draws on the diverse backgrounds of its members, riffing on traditional Colombian rhythms and tapping into reggae, ragga, dub, hip-hop, rock, and funk traditions to deliver what Kondrat calls “island swing.”
