Take It From the Top, Latin Rock Mural
Ce point d’intérêt est disponible en audio dans le circuit: Visit San Francisco, Open and Engaged city
This house, entirely covered in paint, belongs to a local musician, Richard Segovia. The work is entitled “Take it from the Top, Latin Rock” and is a tribute to Latin rock, a musical movement that is very strong throughout Latin America. With the help of muralists Max Martila and Fred Alvarado, it was painted by young people aged 14 to 22 as part of Precita Eyes’ Urban Youth Arts program. Segovia provided them with photos and anecdotes, and the young artists’ inspiration did the rest. In 2019, Segovia has added Carlos Santana and Santana’s percussionist Karl Perazzo. It’s a joyful ode to “musica latina”! Inside the house is a recording studio as well as a sharing space where musicians teach younger children to play their instruments. Richard Segovia says, and I quote, “Latin music was created right here in San Francisco’s Mission District and it’s up to me to keep our heritage and music alive.”
