#oakland-music

My sense is that these sounds are so persistent, tenacious, held with pride and love. I think of a couple of things in particular like an artist like LaRusell. I think about how the spirit and sonics of the movement never went anywhere. It's still such a touchstone for people growing up in the expanded East Bay. So that feels to me like it's persistent. It's held, it's cherished. I think about community parties at the pergola at the lake.
