Sigmund Stern Grove, 19th Ave. & Sloat, San Francisco

Salsamuffin, Bruno “Sergent” Garcia brought his innovative blending of hip-hop, reggae, and salsa to Stern Grove on July 19.  Garcia, credited with spawning a “big town” urban sound, kept a packed audience on their feet. The former punk rock guitarist pushed the boundaries of cultural divides with body moving beats and a fresh perspective.

Responsible for the resurgence of classic funk in Brazil, Curumin takes the best of bossa-nova, samba, and hip-hop to the next level with ingenuity. The inescapable energy of his anthems, a host of special guests got Grove goers grooving.
