Vierge, a French word meaning "blank" or "unspoiled" — virgin or maiden — has unexpectedly become the perfect title for the Brasscals’ debut album.
The Brasscals, Santa Barbara’s community-based street brass band, will celebrate their first album with a fundraiser for La Casa de la Raza on Saturday, November 15.
Founders Maria Cincotta and Antoine Descos, both seasoned saxophonists and the heart and soul of the group, started the Brasscals in 2022 . According to Cincotta, the album has been “in the works” for as long as the band has existed.
