The Mayor’s Mission: A Tribute to Latin Rock and the Bay Area [an Aced Out Podcast Special]
/On October 16, 2021, RICHARD SEGOVIA — Mayor of the Mission District, San Francisco — put on an all-day show at La Raza Park to commemorate the unveiling of a new mural added to his home, CASA BANDIDO, a vibrant tribute to Latin Rock and the Bay Area. (Check out Richard’s interview for Episode 18 of Aced Out).
Jay Stone and Ace Alan of the Funkanauts were there to help represent. A couple weeks later, they visited Segovia at his casa to provide some mural support and reflect on the event.
This special features performances by Mayor Segovia, guitarist Johnny Gunn and their group PURO BANDIDO, as well as MALO (Arcelio Garcia Legacy), Carlos Montano Band and Midtown Soul. You will also see a rare interview with art icon MICHAEL V. RIOS, a living legend best known for his album covers for Carlos Santana, including the Grammy-winning Supernatural.
Speaking of Santana, percussionist Karl Perrazo makes an appearance, as does Gibby Ross. If that weren’t enough, JUAN ESCOVEDO of the illustrious Escovedo Family — (see Aced Out Episode 25) — performs and chats with Jay and Ace, as do Texas-based rapper Ricky Versetti and his road dawg JT Campos, the actor/stuntman known as “Boaz” in the hit Netflix series, Queen of the South.
But perhaps most importantly, this doc features the community, here to bring the Bay side worldwide! Enjoy.
