About this concert
Por la Raza is a musical project based in placekeeping, composition, mentorship, and public performance. Born from La Doña’s educational work with youth in San Francisco’s Mission and Bayview districts, Por la Raza combines interviews, composition, mentorship and public performance to identify and compose round shared experience and community truths while uplifting young artists of color in their own creative journeys. Generating musical compositions, recordings, music direction, and professional-level presentation, Por la Raza exemplifies what is possible through multi-generational support and interest at different levels of career. Funded by Galería de la Raza’s ReGen Fund and produced by La Doña, De la Raza culminates in a free, all-ages, one-day festival featuring San Francisco’s emerging talents Mamboleo, Grupo 415, Amanda Magaña and La Doña. Join us in the heart of the Mission at Grey Area on 5/3 to witness three generations of Frisco musicians share their music, originality, and cultural legacy.

At last I got to see La Dona and she was absolutely fantastic. I love her energy and her jazzy, bluesy music with so much Salsa soul. She is mesmerizing!

La Doña Biography
La Doña, born Cecilia Cassandra Pena-Govea in San Francisco, California, is a solo reggaeton singer, songwriter and multiinstrumentalist.
The Chicana artist began her career at age 7 playing trumpet, and later strings and percussion in her family’s
conjunto. She also played in a youth salsa band and a Balkan fusion band before synthesizing her unique upbringing in her original compositions. La Doña a combines her deep roots in Latin folk traditions like corridos and rumba with the propulsive modern sounds of reggaeton, cumbia, and hip hop.
La Doña coined the term “Femmeton” to describe her auto-referential songs about love, sex, gentrification and the radical joys of being a queer brown woman in the Bay Area. An activist and educator, she holds her community close- her father, childhood friends, and partner layer live instrumentation, intimate harmonies and driving percussion over a thick reggaeton beat.
Influenced by local muralismo and hyphy sensibilities just as much as global diasporas and climate catastrophes, La Doña catalogue is eclectic, fresh, and urgent.
