From DOWN HOME MUSIC FOUNDATION: On Saturday, September 12, we'll host a day of in-store DJ sets from local selectors
for Farm to Turntable!!
DJs for the Day:
Jazmin Morelos
Jazmin Morelos is a bilingual radio host and producer based in the Bay Area, known for Behind the
Escena on KPOO 89.5 FM. This will be her first time behind the turntables instead of the mic. Her crates
jump from The Doors to The Monkees to Son Rompe Pera and straight into cumbia as no genre is off
limits. Morelos is a long time Bay Area music scene documentarian, and her passion continues to fuel
her current projects.
Eli "Loca2Far" Reyes
Eli “Loca2Far” Reyes was born and raised in California's Central Valley, absorbing its deep-rooted
heritage of Latin music and cultural resilience. After relocating to the Bay Area in 2007, she has helped
cultivate microcosms of belonging for other artists and subcultures in the Bay Area. She is currently the
charismatic frontwoman in the psych-cumbia band RITMOS TROPICOSMOS and one-third of the
electronic synth band TROPISPHERE. Eli's DJ style is focused primarily on female artists who inspire
her vocal stylings and live sets. You'll hear everything from cumbia to soul, boogaloo to pop, and
experimental synth punk to early techno sounds from her tastefully curated vinyl collection.
Ricardo Tavarez
Ricardo Tavarez is a Bay Area poet, educator, digital creator, and documentarian who teaches Hayward
Unified School District and was a long-time host of the Pan Dulce Poets reading series in the Mission
District at La Reyna Bakery. Member of La Brigada, an arts collective that organizes the San Francisco

music, and memory.
