“When Dakota isn’t drawing, she’s drumming. When she’s not drawing or drumming, she’s doing homework. Or wishing she was Sheila E. Dakota seriously doubts Sheila E. does homework.”

“Music is fun when you play it with the rhythm of the heart. And maracas are life. I want to become a great percussionist someday. My next challenge is   the congas.”

“I love to play the booonngoooos!”

“Sing, Sing, Sing!”

“My name is Vanessa, I was born in Antioch and I love to sing with los Chiles Verdes.”

“Have you ever wondered why they always say play the piano? Musicians see playing an instrument as a fun game. That’s how I ‘play’ the piano I play my game as best as I can. All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players. I like all kinds of music. I would like to always improve my game.”

“I’ve been singing since I was one, and started singing with “Los Chiles Verdes” two years ago.  I like hanging out with Jose and “Los Chiles Verdes” a lot, especially when I get to sing, dance and try out other musical instruments.”

“I first saw Jimmy Bosch at Yerba Buena Gardens 2007, I was inspired by the way he played the Trombone! I asked my Dad if I could play the Trombone too. He said only if I was serious! Today I still play Trombone & enjoy playing with “Los Chiles Verdes.” I have met many famous & interesting people playing music! I also play Baseball, Football, Basketball & Soccer.”
