Las Cafeteras create a vibrant musical fusion with a unique East LA sound and a community-focused political message. Their Afro-Mexican rhythms, zapateado and inspiring lyrics tell stories of a community who is looking for love and fights for justice in the concrete jungle of Los Angeles. A remix of traditional Son Jarocho sounds, they add Afro-Caribbean marimbol and cajón, poetry in English and Spanglish, and instruments like jarana, requinto, a donkey jawbone and a wooden platform called the Tarima. Having shared the stage with Lila Downs, Juanes, and the LA Philharmonic Orchestra, Las Cafeteras continue their mission to uplift humanity through music.

Chicano Batman
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chicano Batman's music emanates from the soul, shaped in the womb, manifested from colorful tapes & scratched up records. Inspired by Los Angeles Negros, Caetano Veloso, David Axelrod instrumentals, The Four Tops, 60's & 70's Third Cinema, and Chico Che style cumbias, Chicano Batman use the 'old school' as a launch pad to express their new school psychedelic musical style.
