The only way to start your Cinco De Mayo celebration in 2024! Bill Caballero is a Barrio Logan treasure. And for the first time you will be able to hear this great Latin Jazz trumpeter in Encinitas. He’s bringing his whole ensemble and he’s going to blow us away. When you listen to Bill you’ll hear the most real musician in the business. In his own words: “I was exposed to Latin Jazz while obtaining my degree at Cornish School of the Arts by drummer Jerry Granelli and was surprised at how naturally it came to me. I felt it. Since then, I am most comfortable in this particular genre of jazz. As time has gone by, I have tweaked the term Latin Jazz to Homey Jazz. I did so because I realized that the majority of my audience is brown smiling faces and I am well received by them. The moniker Latin Jazz didn’t seem to quite fit my particular audience because in my world they were my homeys. You see, Latin Jazz has many subplots and while I identify with Mongo Santamaria and Poncho Sanchez, I was seeing that Latin Jazz was being applied to a much more intricate form that seemed to be more be-bopish than Latin. Again, I looked at my audience and saw that neither they nor I were into that complex a music. We were more into the groove than the mental aptitude test of the more complex forms Latin Jazz was taking. So now I play a combination of the aforementioned greats with some funk and old Latin standards thrown in for good measure.” For more information visit: encinitaslibfriends.org Stay Connected on Instagram

Join us on Thursday, August 29, from 6-8 p.m. for an enlightening evening with our Resident Artist, Oscar Romo, as he leads a dynamic panel discussion titled DISCOVER! The Promise Zone. This event will focus on crucial notions of sustainability, featuring insights from Oscar and other renowned experts. Together, they will delve into pressing issues affecting the Promise Zone residents and brainstorm innovative opportunities for a sustainable future. The panelists will explore sustainability through the lens of four foundational domains, each integral to comprehensive sustainability knowledge, values, and practices: Interconnection within Nature: Understanding the intricate web of relationships that sustain our ecosystems.

Equity and Social Justice: Advocating for fair and inclusive solutions that uplift all community members. Movement Building and the Economy: Exploring how collective action and economic strategies can drive sustainable change.
