Corazón del Barrio February 13, 2010

The Mission Cultural Center for Latino Arts (MCCLA) will host its annual Open House featuring two in-house youth musical bands playing salsa music and Latin rhythms. Los Chiles Verdes (The Green Peppers), and Futuro Picante (Spicy Future) were forged in the MCCLA’s Multicultural Youth After School Program. The young musicians will perform on the sidewalk in front of MCCLA in the heart of San Francisco’s Mission District.

During the festivities, Isabel Barraza will hold a do-it-yourself card-making workshop in honor of Valentine’s Day in the MCCLA lobby. Community members and passers-by are invited to participate.
