A night at the Golden Gate Business Association's 40th Anniversary Celebration

 

No soon had she landed and Catalina was a featured performer for the Golden Gate Business Association's 40th Anniversary celebration at the War Memorial Opera House. Chile Lindo brought together a band of talented jazz musicians to perform with Catalina Claro at this event.

Paula's wheeling and dealing got the photo op with San Francisco's Mayor Ed Lee. Touchdown for Chile Lindo.

A night at La Pe�a Cultural Center

 

Catalina Claro's Bay Area tour kicked off at none other than the Chilean founded cultural center- La Pe�a in Berkeley, CA. A warm crowd welcomed Catalina Claro.

 

Local musician Rick Brown accompanied on the trombone and fellow Chilean local percussionist Axel Herrera accompanied on caj�n.

Thank you to La Pe�a!


A day at Viracocha in San Francisco's Mission district  

 

This intimate fundraising concert at Viracocha exemplified what Chile Lindo is venturing to accomplish in the community. It was truly a celebration of Chilean culture, food, wine, and entertainment. Guests enjoyed wine, and delicious empanadas and alfajores made by Chile Lindo.

 

We also had a fun raffle where our guests won Chilean prizes such as Isabelle Allende's autographed books, Catalina Claro's music, and one of kind Michael Roman's silk screened aprons.

Catalina delivered a beautiful and warm performance along Rick Brown on trombone and Axel Herrera on caj�n.

 

Of course the event concluded with lots of wine. Salud!

Friends, family, and Consul General of Chile, Rolando Ortega, supported the Chile Lindo Network at this final concert.

 

Catalina Claro, Axel Herrera on percussion, Rick Brown on trombone, joined by Danny Grewen also on trombone, rocked the final performance. What a fun night! After the show concert goers clearly were delighted by the concert. Me alegraste la noche! exclaimed a fan. Meaning "You made my night!".
