Even with vaccines, boosters and all the precautions we’ve learned to practice, live music continues to struggle during COVID times. As venues attempt to maintain their music calendars, especially smaller ones which host local acts, a boost is needed, something that reminds us of the celebratory nature of live music...
More and more, Houston audiences are celebrating music events with Lisette Guerra's handmade piñatas.
She said her side gig got a boost through her boyfriend, Ricky Dee, front man for the veteran Houston rock trio Ganesha. The band is part of a stacked lineup scheduled for Saturday,. The all-ages show will also include Austin psych act Naga Brujo and Houston’s Lagrimas, The Poserz and Bozos, which commissioned a Ronald Reagan piñata for the night.
“It’s just become a thing. People look forward to it now and it’s just great. It’s kind of changed the dynamics of things,” she said. “It’s just really great to see all of these grown people, their inner kid is just excited and scrambling on the floor for all these goodies." “When I was a kid, I spent every summer and winter break in Mexico. On the side there next to where my abuelita’s house was there was a piñata shop where my mom would work for her side money when we were there in Mexico. She would go help in the piñata shop and I would go with her and just sit on the ground and I would just see all these piñatas hanging above me. That was my daily thing, to just sit and watch my mother make these piñatas.
She said in May 2020, right when lockdown was taking effect, House of J held a house show for the stir crazy. Guerra filled a piñata that night with hand sanitizer, gloves and masks.
