2nd Thursdays at Dodge Alley welcomes the return of ELENAH to the Tenderloin. The genre-defying musical project of Bay Area artist (and longtime Hyde St. Studios engineer) David Saenz invokes a multitude of Latin American and Afro-diasporic sounds–reggae, cumbia, bolero, hip-hop–to conjure high-energy, socially conscious songs that speak to resilience, migration, love, and begs listeners to get up on their feet and dance.
