On March 18, 2007, 2 members of the group DobaDoza performed in San Francisco at the International ANSWER march and demonstration to commemorate the 4th anniversary of the invasion and occupation of Iraq. Shannon and Patricia have done a lot of work with the Watsonville Autonomous Chapter of the Brown Berets. They were joined by a young member of the Berets, a middle school student who also DJ’s, raps and sings for fun in his free time. The file is a mp3 recording of their live performance from the main stage in the Civic Center in SF and lasts about 11 minutes.
