Loco Bloco x Zoo Labs (Album)

In 2020-2021, Carlos Gutierrez Produced and Engineered a project funded and mentored by Oakland based music accelerator program, Zoo Labs, for local San Francisco based non-profit Loco Bloco. Loco Bloco's mission states:

Loco Bloco (LB) promotes the healthy transition into adulthood for San Francisco youth by engaging them in the creation and performance of music, dance, and theater rooted in Afro-Latinx traditions. Founded by community-based artists and activists in 1994, Loco Bloco provides BIPOC youth with transformational arts experiences to foster dialogue, engagement and unity between diverse cultures in Bay Area communities. Based on frameworks that emerged in Latin America of artistic creation as an emancipatory process, we empower youth to embrace the cultural legacies of their ancestors, overcome discrimination and create positive change. For 30 years thousands of young people and their families have participated in LB programs and annual productions, strengthening their connections to cultural traditions, wellness, and becoming leaders/culture-bearers for their communities.
