Joe Bataan with Melodious
About
Latin soul pioneer Joe Bataan, an early Fania Records star who helped coin the term 'salsoul', plays his third Yerba Buena Gardens Festival show in four years, with Oakland vocal trio MeloDious opening and a KALW DJ set from 1 p.m. The concert runs 2–4:30 p.m. on the Great Lawn, Mission St between 3rd and 4th Sts, a few minutes' walk from Powell St or Montgomery St BART. Admission is free with an Eventbrite RSVP. It is presented with KALW and the Museum of the African Diaspora, and is one of the last big shows of the festival's free outdoor season.
