Las Cafeteras in Concert: Authentic Music with a Message
Grand Annex (San Pedro, CA)
Las Cafeteras perform Afro-Mexican music with a community-focused political message that’s straight out of East L.A. This group is not just about the sounds, which are upbeat and rhythmic, but the poetry of the words as well. They tell inspiring stories of love and justice through their music. Las Cafeteras combines Son Jarocho sounds with Afro-Mexican rhythms and zapateado, along with with marimbol and cajón. This is the real deal, authentic music played on instruments like jarana, requinto, a donkey jawbone and a wooden platform called the Tarima.
