Trilogía del Dolor is an exploration of human pain through music and poetry. It aims to musically portray a real human experience of pain, one that goes beyond its idealizations, helps open conversations about it, and contributes to transcend misunderstandings and taboos around it. The trilogy features the poetry of Mexican contemporary poets Nuria Manzur-Wirth, Ricardo Cázares, Tania Favela, Nadia Mondragón, and Mónica Morales Rocha, plus texts written by the composer. The performance will feature vocalists Mariana Flores Bucio and Miguel Zazueta, clarinetist Madison Greenstone, cellist Rocío Sánchez, percussionist Camilo Zamudio, and flutist/composer/narrator Wilfrido Terrazas. Additionally, artist Esther Gámez Rubio will be projecting visuals and stage directing. Visit: https://music-cms.ucsd.edu/concerts/box_office.html UC San Diego Music on Instagram

Get your engines revving, because on February 14th, you’re in for a high-octane night that will blow the roof off! Headlining the show is none other than The Reverend Horton Heat, bringing his signature mix of country-blues-rock that’s sure to melt your face off. Known for his electrifying performances, Jim Heath’s sermons of rock & roll transcend time and space. This is rockabilly reimagined with primal fire and space-cowboy swagger, and no one does it quite like the Reverend. Picture this: guitars that ignite, stand-up bass that shakes the floor, and a sound that transports you to a 1950s rockabilly fever dream—except it’s happening right now. From the spaghetti-western wall of sound in “Big Sky” to the mind-bending frenzy of “Psychobilly Freakout,” The Reverend Horton Heat’s live show is the drive-in movie soundtrack of your life. You don’t just hear it—you feel it. Visit: https://artcenter.org/event/reverend-horton-heat-with-black-joe-lewis-and-pinata-protest/ Reverend Horton Heat on Instagram and Facebook

Tanya Aguiñiga was born in 1978 in San Diego, California, and raised in Tijuana, Mexico. An artist and craftsperson, Aguiñiga works with traditional craft materials like natural fibers and collaborates with other artists and activists to create sculptures, installations, performances, and community-based art projects. Drawing on her upbringing as a binational citizen, who crossed the border daily from Tijuana to San Diego for school, Aguiñiga’s work speaks of the artist’s experience of her divided identity and aspires to tell the larger and often invisible stories of the transnational community. She founded AMBOS (Art Made Between Opposite Sides), an ongoing series of projects that provides a platform for binational artists. She was recently awarded the Latinx Art Forum: Latinx Artist Fellowship (2022), Heinz Award (2021), and an Americans for the Arts Johnson Fellowship for Artists Transforming Communities (2018). Her work is in the collection of the Hammer Museum, LACMA, Smithsonian’s Cooper Hewitt and Renwick Museums, and the Museum of Art and Design among others. Tanya Aguiñiga on Facebook / Instagram
