About
Fundraising Listening Event for Venezuela
All proceeds going to direct mutual aid in Venezuela
Music presented by Martín Alé (Mild to Wild)
Join us on July 22 as dear friend of the house and fellow caraqueño Martín Alé takes us on a journey through salsa, bugalú and the genres' musical roots and rhizomes. He will present a selection of songs chosen from several records, with a spoken introduction for each. We recommend this night for any Latin rhythm enthusiasts as well as those wanting to join us in solidarity with Venezuela's recent earthquake victims.*
100% of the funds collected will be directed towards direct mutual aid organizations on the ground, whose needs change daily but span everything from food and water to diapers, tents and . Proofs of transfer will be posted once funds are disbursed to us and sent to Venezuelan accounts.
*On June 24th June, magnitude 7.2 and 7.5 earthquakes hit Caracas and the coastal state of La Guaira within minutes of each other—flattening entire high-rise apartment blocks and upending hundreds of thousands of lives. Much of Venezuela currently lives in diaspora (the result, in part, of another series of man-made political disasters spanning decades), and so the shockwaves of this natural catastrophe have been felt all over the world among a people already mourning their country.
PLEASE NOTE — Due to the size of the space and our desire to accommodate as many people for the fundraiser as possible, there are TWO SESSIONS. 9PM and 10:30PM. Please choose one at checkout!!
