¡Las Cafeteras estarán en vivo el 2 de mayo a las 7:30 pm en el Hult Center! Originarios y criados al este del río Los Ángeles, Las Cafeteras están redefiniendo la música tradicional y narrando historias contemporáneas. Han creado una fusión musical vibrante con un sonido único del este de LA y un mensaje positivo. Sus rimas y ritmos afro-mexicanos nos regalan letras inspiradoras que documentan las experiencias de una comunidad en busca de amor y justicia en la selva de cemento de Los Ángeles. ¡Adquiere tus boletos usando el enlace de arriba! Con instrumentos tradicionales del Son Jarocho como la jarana, el requinto, la quijada (mandíbula de burro) y la tarima (una plataforma de madera), Las Cafeteras cantan en inglés, español y spanglish, agregando un remix de sonidos que va desde el rock hasta el hip-hop y las rancheras.

LAS CAFETERAS BIO
Las Cafeteras have taken the music scene by storm with their infectious live performances and have crossed genre and musical borders. Their electric sound & energy has taken them around the world playing shows from Bonnaroo to the Hollywood Bowl, WOMAD New Zealand to Montreal Jazz, & beyond!

Born and raised east of the Los Angeles river, Las Cafeteras are remixing roots music and telling modern day stories. Las Cafeteras create a vibrant musical fusion with a unique East LA sound and positive message. Their Afro-Mexican beats, rhythms, and rhymes deliver inspiring lyrics that document stories of a community seeking love and justice in the in the concrete jungle of Los Angeles.

Using traditional Son Jarocho instruments like the jarana, requinto, quijada (donkey jawbone) and tarima (a wooden platform), Las Cafeteras sing in English, Spanish, and Spanglish and add a remix of sounds, from rock to hip-hop to rancheras. Las Cafeteras use music as a vehicle to build bridges among different cultures and communities, and create ‘a world where many worlds fit’.

They’ve performed in the good company of Mexican icons Caifanes, Lila Downs, Colombian superstar Juanes, Los Angeles legends Ozomatli, folk/indie favorites Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra, and Talib Kweli.

LA Times described Las Cafeteras as “uniquely Angeleno mishmash of punk, hip-hop, beat music, cumbia and rock … live, they’re magnetic.”
