You may need to brighten your screen if the video appears too dark on your computer/device.
THE FOLLOWING VIDEOS WERE MADE AS COVID-19 LOCKDOWN STARTED IN 2020:
2. Friday March 20, 2020 - 2 Nights Before The Big Shut Down
This video clip (above) shows Musician "JOTH" (plays music with Ambruster on YouTube) chatting with Marzipan, listening to Marzipan's music (vis a foot pedal multi-track recording) as a known Stalker of women at Love Story Yoga; Manny's Bar & Cafe and SF City College happens to walk by with his Backpack. If you're a woman in the Mission being stalked by this guy, call the local SFPD Mission District Station.
3. Friday March 20, 2020, 7:15:04 PM - 2 Nights Before Shut Down
Marzipan starts playing before we are all supposed to "go home" before "Shelter in Place" Curfew. This video shows him testing out his foot-pedal recording system which allows him to record "layer" upon layer of guitar & thumping guitar wood (to give a percussion sound like a drum) sounds to blend un beats, lead, harmony, bass rifts onto a single final digitally stored recording of songs.

In this video, La Cumbre's owner, Eddy Duran (right side in video), comes out to jam with Customer/Guest Guitarist (name: TBD, left side) while Marzipan (man seen tipping...) takes a break. Marzipan & Eddy love it when guests and passersby step up to share their music with us all.

AFTER THE START OF COVID AND THE STAY IN PLACE ORDERS IN MARCH 2020
Here's an image of a pair of local Mariachis fully protected with masks, ready to play!
Dated August 21, 2020 -
This is one pair of Mariachis that come out to play great music around 16th & Valencia, in the restaurants they've been playing in for years, and now outdoors at the "shared space" parklets (not to be confused with "Public" parklets) owned by the local restaurants on both sides of Valencia Street and 16th Streets.
Some days you can find entire "families" of Mariachis, young and old all playing together, enriching our neighborbood.
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2022 ! More photos and videos to be posted from our archives... soon!
