Over the following centuries, what that wooden box evolved into is now an indispensable part of several musical traditions of Peru, like the marinera, tondero and festejo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11981756\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003ca href=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/240401-PERUANA-SPACES-KSM-25-KQED.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11981756\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/240401-PERUANA-SPACES-KSM-25-KQED.jpg\" alt=\"A man wearing glasses and a white t-shirt stands outside.\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/240401-PERUANA-SPACES-KSM-25-KQED.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/240401-PERUANA-SPACES-KSM-25-KQED-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/240401-PERUANA-SPACES-KSM-25-KQED-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/240401-PERUANA-SPACES-KSM-25-KQED-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/240401-PERUANA-SPACES-KSM-25-KQED-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/240401-PERUANA-SPACES-KSM-25-KQED-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Juan de Dios Soto teaches the cajon class at the Tradición Peruana Cultural Center in San Francisco on April 1, 2024. \u003ccite>(Kathryn Styer Martínez/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Soto teaches cajón at both Tradición Peruana and the nearby Mission Cultural Center for Latino Arts.

Daniel Lurie’s plan would give people on the street a choice: enter treatment or face arrest. A day after Lurie, Mark Farrell released a similar plan. If elected, Farrell would request more California Army National Guard soldiers in the Tenderloin and South of Market. The plans are comparable to Mayor London Breed’s 2021 Tenderloin state of emergency, which led to the creation of the Tenderloin Center, a place for drug users to connect with harm reduction services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city’s drug epidemic worsened despite Breed’s declaration.[aside postID=\"news_11979508,news_11972898,news_11975156\" label=\"Related Stories\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco recorded 806 drug overdose deaths in 2023, the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11972898/2023-was-san-franciscos-deadliest-year-for-drug-overdoses-new-data-confirms\">deadliest year on record\u003c/a>. About 80% of the deaths were fentanyl-related. During 2022’s redistricting, the Tenderloin was added to District 5, which now includes Japantown, Western Addition and Haight Ashbury. The overdose data and discontent over street conditions make Dean Preston, the district representative on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, vulnerable in his November reelection bid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Preston, the board’s only Democratic Socialist who said he is focused on tenants rights and alternatives to policing, has two opponents. Bilal Mahmood, a tech entrepreneur, said he wants to digitize City Hall to reduce red tape. Autumn Looijen, who co-launched San Francisco’s school board recall in 2022, told KQED she will concentrate on thwarting the fentanyl crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Preston and his challengers squabble over ideological differences, residents and business owners interviewed for this story said they want elected officials to take a new approach to cleaning up the Tenderloin’s streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Freddy Martin, a congregational life and community engagement manager at Glide, has lived in the Tenderloin for more than 20 years.

He has argued that the city’s existing tracking system is ineffective and outdated. At 10:30 a.m. today, he is planning to unveil his plan to end open-air drug markets at the corner of Market and Seventh streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parker-Dalton, 39, said that the city needs to designate spaces for those who choose not to be housed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You have people that don’t want to be inside,” the decadelong Tenderloin resident said. “They don’t want to be confined.
