Town News: Art and Music

The June 21st San Jose del Cabo Festival of Music Thursday Night, celebrated their yearly event in great fashion as bands from all over the Cabo area put on show  worthy of a steep price of admission, although the  street wide extravaganza was free to the public. “I have been coming to this Music Fest for the past 3 years and have always had a really good time”, said Martin Ochoa of San Jose del Cabo. “I like all different types of music and this Festival has it all.” And indeed it did, with more than 52 bands that performed during the local street party that started at 4:00 p.m. and didn’t end ‘til 1:00 a.m.

The marquee Mexican rock star, Natalia LaFourcade was a last minute no-show but other bands like Panihari did more than make up for her absence with a thrilling musical collage of several signature jams which the 3 member group played from a never ending well of tunes that electrified the boisterous crowd of new and die-hard fans. “They really sound cool and were very impressive, “commented Damien Jefferson of Atlanta, “ I was calling them the go-go girls, cuz I didn’t know their name and haven’t seen women play lead guitar and drums like that in a long time. It was a cool club sound and you could really get into the beats.” The group’s name originates from the Indian states of Asia where water is a precious commodity of which the Rajasthani term Panihari refers to women who set out daily to fetch water. The Panihari’s of India, play a highly critical role in desert communities.

 The local band, Panihari, played an eclectic sound reminiscent of the Grateful Dead. Only one song in their hour and 20minute performance contained any lyrics as the talented trio of Daniela Hernandez, lead guitar, Moises Rojas Nava, bass and Fabiola on drums kept the audience happily entertained, playing a much requested encore tune before their departure.

G20 Summit in Los Cabos

This year’s G20 Summit is scheduled for June 18-19 in Los Cabos. The G20 Summit is a prestigious gathering of leaders and ministers from 20 of the most economically powerful countries in the world including: the United States, Mexico, Germany, South Korea, Argentina, Brazil, France, Italy ,India, Indonesia, Turkey, the European Union, the United Kingdom, Australia, Japan, Canada, Russia, China, South Africa, and Saudi Arabia. The G20 forum comes together to study and promote discussions about issues related to industrialized countries to maintain a stable international financial system.

Los Cabos was chosen to host this summit for many reasons. The destination’s first class-hotel and airport infrastructure were noted as two very important factors in the decision. In the past years, Cabo has made significant improvements. Putting in new highways and new infrastructures have added much appeal to the destination. The fact that Los Cabos has over 300 days of sunshine and amazing weather adds to the appeal of hosting the summit there.

When having world leaders in one location, one of the most important factors is safety.  Cabo is located at the tip of the Baja Peninsula and is completely off the drug trafficking routes, making it a very safe destination. Cabo is one of the safest destinations in Mexico, as the logistics of the area make it very safe and secure.

The G20 Summit will be held in the new Convention Center in Cabo, which was built specifically to host this event. The 653,400 square foot center can compete with the likes of other Mexican hotspots such as Cancun, Puerto Vallarta, and Mexico City. Designed to accommodate over 6,000 people, the Convention Center is the perfect place to hold the G20 Summit. Built specifically for the purposes of hosting conventions and summits such as this, the Convention Center represents $100,000,000 investment by the federal government and a $1,500,000 investment from the state of Baja California Sur.

Our restaurant on site with our home chef Casiano Reyes was elected to feed all this important people with his unique mexican culinary style. “No menu, no rules” is the way it describes the “spontaneous cuisine” dining experience you’re about to enjoy here. If you’re an open-minded, trusting, and adventurous eater, you’ll enjoy this restaurant, which is full of surprises.  Five-course meals and food-wine pairings are the specialties. Reservations are strongly recommended.
