LA RAIZ ES LA FAMILIA – El Tiempo Invaluable

The theme of this year’s event is “Roots and Family”. Flamenco is a folk art form that originated in the Andalusia region of southern Spain, and the Romani, a migratory people, played a major role in its history and development. Family traditions still form the core of the Roma culture.

As an art form created by wandering peoples through a fusion of various music and rhythms, it resonates with a diverse range of people, bringing familiarity, nostalgia, and melancholy; in 2010, it was included in UNESCO’s list of Spain’s Intangible Cultural Heritage.

We are honored to be able to present this wonderful culture to you on stage through the art of flamenco, an art we feel passionately about. You will be able to enjoy a wide range of flamenco performances, from brilliant dances with castanets, fans, and mantons, which are typical flamenco accessories, to cante and guitar performances! Through this recital, you will enjoy a dreamy moment to immerse yourself in the passion of flamenco and free your spirit.

Artistic Director: Mikaela Kai
Special Guest Artists: Paco Arroyo, Yolanda Arroyo
Guest Artists: Maribel Aja Villaseñor, Ron Wagner (Percussion)
MFK Dancers: Yoko Shibata, Yumi Fujimoto, Yoshikuni Okita, Laura Gonzales, Reiko Taira, Hitomi Watanabe

South Bay Real Estate In a Dive

March vs April

The number of homes sold across the South Bay during April fell 6% below March sales. The only growth occurred on the Palos Verdes Hill where 7% more homes were sold than closed escrow in March. The Harbor area took the hardest hit with a decline of 11% in home sales.

While the monthly median price is still mostly positive, April saw a 14% drop in median price for the Beach Cities. That significant fall for an area that is traditionally strong indicates prices may soon follow volume on the way down.

April 2026 vs April 2025

Comparing this April to the same month last year finds the number of homes sold in the South Bay dropped 10% over the past 12 months. The Harbor and Hill areas took the worst beating, losing 18% and 20% respectively. Only the Beach area came in positive, with a mere 4% increase in sales—a collapse from the 31% growth the prior month.

On an annual basis, the median price was much like the monthly. Once again, only the Beach Cities showed red ink. This time with just a 3% loss in value. Median prices have had far ranging swings since the first of the year. The year started with a 40% decline in the median for the Beach area. The highest increase in median price was 10%, also at the Beach.

2026 Year to Date vs 2025

For the first four months of the year, sales volume has slipped by 6% across the region. In the same time frame, median prices have dropped modestly everywhere except the Harbor area, where prices are maintaining a 3% boost over the first four months of 2025.

Year to date sales and prices likewise show the negative impact of inflation. Price resistance is showing up both in purchases and in leases.

The Outlook for May

Sales volume has been negative three months out of four so far this year. March countered in all areas, but April took back the increases everywhere except the Beach. A quick look at the number of homes sold already in May does nothing to improve the outlook. At this point the best to be hoped for is going from double digit losses to single digit losses, with maybe an occasional positive.

Median prices are treading a borderline. If sales volume continues to slip, as everything indicates, prices will suffer. The market is essentially in stasis, and fewer active buyers will force price reductions from sellers who often have no choice but to sell.

On the other hand, all the wars could end and we could go back to building and selling homes for people.

You can’t miss the outstanding performance of Barcelona native flamenco artists, Paco Arroyo and Yolanda Arroyo. Paco’s virtuoso playing guitar, Yolanda’s heart-moving dance, singing and transcendental technique in castanets will surely fascinate all audiences with a standing ovation. Three talented local flamenco dancers and MKF’s dancers and musicians, will also be featured in the show.

The theme of this year’s event is “Spain”. Flamenco is a folk art form that originated in the Andalusia region of southern Spain, and the Romani, a migratory people, played a major role in its history and development. As an art form created by wandering peoples through a fusion of various music and rhythms, it resonates with a diverse range of people, bringing familiarity, nostalgia, and melancholy; in 2010, it was included in UNESCO’s list of Spain’s Intangible Cultural Heritage. We are honored to be able to present this wonderful culture to you on stage through the art of flamenco, an art we feel passionately about. You will be able to enjoy a wide range of flamenco performances, from brilliant dances with castanets, fans, and mantons, which are typical flamenco accessories, to cante and guitar performances! I hope that through this recital, you will enjoy a dreamy moment to immerse yourself in the passion of flamenco and free your spirit.

South Bay Real Estate: Erratic, Inexplicable, Inflationary

Since summer of 2023, South Bay real estate has been erratic, inexplicable and highly inflationary. Both the sales volume and the median price jump up, and then down, and then up again with no apparent rationale. For example, the number homes sold in the Beach cities was up 29% in December, down 40% in January and up 70% in February. Over the same months, the median price in the the Beach cities went up 9%, up 30%, and down 7%. Those are huge jumps, and with contrary indicators.

Some of that crazy action made sense during the pandemic, but post-pandemic, where the economy should be leveling out, all the numbers should be moving in the same direction, consistently.

The number of homes sold should be on the increase constantly until 2027/2028, as sales stabilize following the out-sized impact of the low pandemic-era interest rates. Those low interest rates caused a sizable percentage of future buyers to step up to the plate earlier than they would have normally. Those buyers will not be back in the market for another four to five years, at the earliest.

The median price of those homes should be increasing in line with the Federal Reserve target of 2%. The fact that they are increasing one month and dropping the next indicates a dysfunctional market. The degree to which prices and sales are bouncing around indicates an out-of-control economy.

Why is this a problem? The list price of your house is determined by recent sales. When the recent sales are all over the map, your broker is hard-pressed to get your asking price correct.

Typically, we try to provide some sort of a forecast for the coming months. Unfortunately, the fundamentals are not lining up in any direction right now. Maybe next month.

Beach: Sales Up, Prices Down

The number of February home sales in the Beach area jumped to 109, 70% above those of January. At the same time the median price dropped 7%, ending at $2,180,000.

Compared to last year, February sales were up 42%, with an annual increase in the median price of 23%.

Year to date, sales of homes rose 34% versus the first two months of 2024. Median prices for the same period increased by 27%.

Harbor: Sales Up, Prices Up

On a monthly basis, sales volume in the Harbor area jumped by 12%, ending with 273 homes sold in February. Median prices for the Harbor climbed 1%, reaching $760,000 for the month.

While year over year sales volume was up by 14% for February, the annual median price at the Harbor dropped 4%. This marks the first annual decline in median price at the Harbor since 2023. Economic volatility has created a lot of wide monthly swings, but the variances annually have been more restrained.

Compared to the first two months of 2024, the number of homes sold increased by 12%, despite negative sales volume in January. Median prices fell by 2% for the same period.

Hill: Sales Up, Prices Up

From January to February sales of home on the Palos Verdes Peninsula increased by 44%, from 32 to 46 units. That jump was accompanied by an 8% growth in the median price, matching the 8% increase of last month. The February median price came in at $2,047,000.

Comparing February sales this year to those of last year shows a 28% rise in the number of homes sold. Likewise, the median price climbed 16% from last February.

Looking at year to date for 2025 versus 2024, sales volume is flat at 78 homes sold for the two month period. In the same time frame, median prices have shot up by 11%, clearly an inflationary statistic.

Inland: Sales Up, Prices Flat

February home sales in the Inland area hit a total of 103 properties, registering an 18% increase in volume over the prior month. The median price for February came in at $900,000, exactly the same as January.

Looking back to last February shows a 10% increase in the number of homes sold, along with a 4% rise in the median price.

Combined home sales for January and February of 2025 surpassed sales of 2024 by 18%. The median price went up by 2% for the same period.

8:00 PM
Doors 7:00 PM
Tickets

Twins Rachel and Chloe Tietjen and their older sister Erika offer up potent lyricism and catchy melodies from stunning a cappella harmonies to pop to groovy indie folk.

The sisters’ contemporary yet classic sound invites comparisons to modern family bands like the Avett Brothers and First Aid Kit. With their soaring sibling harmonies, sassy stage presence and inventive songwriting, these three sisters bring a soulful take on folk/Americana music.

In 2019, T Sisters participated in American Musicians Abroad, a selective State Department-sponsored program fostering diplomacy through music. The sisters performed and conducted workshops in the Middle East and North Africa emphasizing girls empowerment and the role of music in creating social awareness and change.

Rachel (vox, guitar, banjo), Chloe (vox, percussion) and Erika (vox, guitar) are all songwriters in their own right and switch off on lead vocals. While their voices blend seamlessly, each has a distinct singing and writing style that results in an eclectic repertoire unified by a landscape of close harmonies.

John Jorgenson (acoustic guitar/mandolin/vocals) first came to national attention in the mid ‘80s with successful country-rock act The Desert Rose Band, which he co-founded alongside Chris Hillman and fellow J2B2 member Herb Pedersen. In 2008, Jorgenson won a Grammy for Best Country Instrumental with Brad Paisley and was nominated for Best Bluegrass Album with Earl Scruggs. He has also worked as Elton John’s guitarist and alongside Bonnie Raitt and Bob Dylan.

John Jorgenson returns to the Grand Annex, this time switching his guitar out for a mandolin and bringing his all-star bluegrass supergroup featuring legendary, award-winning musicians: Herb Pedersen, Mark Fain and Patrick Sauber.

Herb Pedersen (banjo/acoustic guitar/vocals) has been a member of over five bands, including The Desert Rose Band, during his sixty-year music career. He has worked on countless film and TV scores, and collaborated with music legends such as Earl Scruggs, Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt.

Mark Fain (bass) is a seven-time Grammy winner who has produced for many artists across the jazz, country, bluegrass and gospel genres; he has also toured and recorded with the Chicks, Alan Jackson, John Fogerty and Dolly Parton.

Patrick Sauber (acoustic guitar/vocals) has toured with Peter Rowan and Laurie Lewis, and appeared on screen in the mockumentary musical “The Mighty Wind.”
