East Cape Arts Association Keeps the Price
Down for Their Music Festival
LOS BARRILES, Mexico – October 10, 2011 - The
East Cape Arts Association announced today that they will hold
the advanced ticket price for admission to their music festival
and pig roast dinner to $35.00USD ($420 Pesos). Admission only
is $25.00 USD ($300 Pesos). This is a $50 Peso combined savings
over the current exchange rate. Tickets are going fast, so do
not wait! The price of tickets at the door will be based on the
exchange rate on November 5, 2011.
The festival will take place on the Playa del
Sol Resort beach in Los Barriles. Turn on the street between
Baja Properties and the driving range and follow the signs for
parking. Music starts at 1:00 p.m. and will end about 10:30 p.m.
The Playa de Sol gate opens at 12 noon. After dark, the Fire
Dancers from Cabo Shows will interpret the music with their
dynamic and innovative performances. A large bonfire on the
beach will illuminate the stage and a pig roast dinner in the
evening.
This year’s festival offers the strongest
lineup yet with an amazing variety in music styles. Jim Gray’s
Revolving Door will present a mixture of Blue Grass and Country
to get the festival off to a good start. Howie Clifton and Norma
Sanchez have performed the music of Latin America with Sexto
Sentido over the years and are sure to please the crowd. Pura
Vida brings Reggae with the sounds of Bob Marley to the stage.
Their blend of tight voca harmonies and solid grooves will be
well received. Todd Clouser and A Love Electric will always
bring a surprise or two. You can count on Todd to have a
“secret” guest artist when heshows up to perform a combination
of groove jazz, rock standards and jazz standards. Cambio de
Corazon performs high energy Latin Jazz. Playing jazz standards
and Latin rock in a contemporary Latin style, Cambio de Corazon
presentsa fresh concept borrowing very little from the original.
You can count on Mark Walters and Randy Leach of Skeleton Key to
bring their extensive tune list from Bob Dylan, the Beatles,
Stones, Grateful Dead, Clapton and Santana to the stage for
listening and dancing. Plácido Arce, from Los Barriles, will
play six and twelve string guitar while singing soft Spanish
ballads during dinner.
The event is “festival seating.” Chairs are
limited, so bring your lawn chair or blanket. Light food, soft
drinks, and alcoholic beverages will be available for purchase
all day. A gigantic pig roast dinner will be ready at 5:30p.m.

==============================
Hello, My name is Olivia Brower. I attend
Universidad Mundial in La Paz where I am a 3rd year student
majoring in tourism. Our class has the opportunity to have guest
speakers from the tourism industry in Mexico talk to us about
what they do and what career opportunities are available in the
tourism field to give us a better idea of what we want to do
before we graduate. The seminars are scheduled for the last week
of October. My classmates and I are excited about attending the
seminars and participating in the workshops because of the great
information that will be presented. In order to be able to have
these speakers and workshops we have to raise money to help
cover the costs. We have been putting on bakesales at our school
to help come up with some of the money. Since our school is a
private school, the government doesn't help out with this type
of thing. Thankfully Julie Marks of East Cape Vacation Rentals
was graciously generous enough to be the holder of our donations
can. The donations can will be in her office starting Monday.
Her office is located in Plaza del Pueblo, #17. Her office hours
are Mon-Fri 10AM-3PM and Sat 10AM-1PM, If you would like to call
the number is 141 0381. I will have the official letter from my
school director with my signature there with the can. thank you
so very much and lets hope that we can make it to these
seminars!

Lets try and get as many donations as
possible before the final day!!!(October 15th)
