Carnaval Descarga!
Annette A Aguilar’s
Beans on the Left + Guests

Annette A Aguilar, daughter of Nicaraguan parents, San Francisco native, La Reina de Baterista of Upper Manhattan and the Bronx with her String Beans ensemble and her Women in Latin Jazz festivals, returns home for another Carnaval season.

To Bird & Beckett, she’ll bring a vibrant Beans on the Left quartet–the West Coast version of String Beans–for a descarga anchored by Carolina Calvache on piano, Mike Arnold on bass and Annett’s brother Ricky Aguilar on congas, with special guest Chloe Scott Jones, flute.

$20 admission; byob.

San Francisco’s Mission District hosts the grand celebration that is Carnaval SF every year in May, and this year the streets there will burst with life the weekend of May 24-25, with preparations and rehearsals underway now!

Come to our Friday night descarga and prime yourself!
