 \n\nAcclaimed, Nicaraguan singer-songwriter, Katia Cardenal, premiers her 
 Spanish rendition of SF Flowers… Si Te Vas a San Francisco, a song and a 
 video tribute to SF’s Nicaraguan solidarity movement. Katia  who use to 
 tour with her late brother Salvador as Duo Guardabarranco shares her 
 current repertoire which now includes the iconic song "Si Te Vas A San 
 Francisco" (If you go to S.F).\n\nBorn in Managua, Nicaragua in 1963, 
 started her fondness to music at a very young age, singing in the 
 high-school choir. At the age of 16, she started performing in public with 
 her brother the singer-songwriter Salvador Cardenol, the two as Duo 
 Guardabarranco.  Soon the fresh harmonies and the original style of 
 composing were noticed, not only by the local fans and connoisseurs of 
 music, but also by the International movement of La Nueva Cancion 
 Latinoamericana. After only one year on the road the duo started touring 
 internationally, North and Central America and Europe, Performing with 
 artists such as Silvio Rodriguez, Mercedes Soza, Jackson Browne, Bruce 
 Cockburn, Nanci Griffith, Melissa Etheridge, Miriam Makeba, Age 
 Aleksandersen, Bjørn Afielius, Pablo Milanes, Pete Seeger, Daniel 
 Vigliettri, Peter, Paul & Mary and more.\n\nIn 1990, she represented 
 Nicaragua as a singer in the OTI International Song Festival, winning the 
 second Prize in Las Vegas, United States among 22 countries from the 
 Hispanic world, with the song "Dame tu Corazon". Today married with three 
 children, Katia relocated to Oslo, Norway in December 1996, has continued 
 her career as a singer.\n  \nSponsored by the MangoMundo Foundation, the 
 project,  is a remake in Spanish of the historic song, “San Francisco 
 (Flowers in Your Hair) created in 1967 by John Phillips (The Mamas & the 
 Papas) to start SF’s Summer of Love, which was in protest of the Vietnam 
 War. In the 70-80’s, Nicaragua became the new Vietnam, and again, the 
 solidarity movement in support of SF was born out of SF, with key support 
 coming from The Mission District and Berkeley.\n\nThe remake was re-written 
 and performed by Nicaraguan singer-songwriter, Katia Cardenal, who 
 performed it several times in SF’s Bay Area solidarity concerts (La 
 Peña, Brava) with her brother Salvador as the Duo Guardabarranco.\n\nThe 
 video presents images from SF’s Nicaraguan Solidarity movement in 
 chronological order from 1976-87, includes historical photos from UC 
 Berkeley’s Examiner Collection as well as noted photographers such as 
 Chris Felver (Lawrence Ferlinghetti), Lou Dematteis, and Marvin Collins. El 
 Tecolote Newspaper has also contributed historic photos. MangoMundo 
 Foundation is a new California nonprofit that promotes a positive image and 
 awareness of Nicaraguan culture, through creative media and the arts.##\n
