“Acordada” by Jose Clemente Orozco which I saw at the DeYoung Museum and I believe depicts Zapatistas being marched to their execution
Trio Pais sometimes known as Trio Paz are playing a free concert Thursday, October 6, 2022 at 5:30 p.m. at Lytton Plaza, presented by Earthwise Productions of Palo Alto.
Trio Pais sometimes known as Trio Paz are slightly better known individually as Philip Greenlief, saxophones, Adriana Camacho Torres bass and Scott Amendola drums.
Philip and Scott have performed collectively or individually several times for Earthwise; Adriana Camacho Torres, sometimes known as Loope, will, I think, be making her Palo Alto debut.
She is in the Bay Area for a few weeks playing a handful of shows.
I saw the above Orozco at the DeYoung where it has lived for about 15 years. It’s from 1941.
I also thought, in preparation for the jazz concert Thursday, about Diego Rivera. Here is a unique example of his work:
Diego Rivera in the MUNAL : it says” Zapatista Landscape aka The Guerrilla”, 1915
This lithograph by Rodolfo Morales of Oaxaca, 1925-2001, hangs in the Palo Alto City Hall lobby: “My Heart Looks Out to Life”
