Many people in the L.A. music scene know Raul 'Ralo' Calzada. A drummer for many legendary groups like No Comment, the Blues Experiment, Ollin, and Tormentor to name a few. A drummer's drummer that could play all styles with effortless ease. He always makes it look easy. Ralo has had some health issues as of late, a heart attack being one of them, and has been on a limited income for the past few years. The landlords at the apartment where he's lived since he was 5, are not making life any easier for him. Because he's lived there so long, the rent is considered cheap as it's a rent-controlled building, but in actuality, it takes basically all the disability income he gets from the state. The landlords want him out so they can get market-rate rents.
They never fix leaks, broken windows, bug and vermin infestations, crumbling ceiling etc.......
His mother passed a couple years ago, and ever since then the landlords have really had it in for him.
He is in danger of having his water and power cut off, and losing the home he's been in for most of his life. He also needs help in the upcoming months to pay his medical bills and get back on his feet.
If you ever enjoyed any of the music he made, please consider donating if you can.
