Las Cafeteras

Info: Jan 31, 2016 • Sun • 2:00-4:00pm • Hawaii Theatre • Tickets on sale at HawaiiTheatre.com

With a foundation in traditional Son Jarocho sounds, Las Cafeteras add Afro-Caribbean marimbol and cajn, poetry in English and Spanglish, and instruments like jarana, requinto, a donkey jawbone and a wooden platform called the Tarima.

Las Cafeteras sprouted in 2005 as students who enjoyed free Son Jarocho classes at the Eastside Cafe in El Sereno, Los Angeles and were inspired to utilize teachings of Son Jarocho as a tool to empower and build autonomy, community and solidarity while sharing the magic of this folk music from Southern Veracruz with the public. They`ve since become a favorite at LA community centers, churches, schools, parties, protests, youth conferences, and weddings.

Sharing Son Jarocho inspired music through singing, spoken word (in English/Spanish/ and Spanglish), dancing (`zapateado`, Las Cafeteras seek to gather the teachings of Son Jarocho and infuse the music with their own stories. Their mission is to learn, share, and practice the beauty, culture and energy of Son Jarocho music for the purpose of building autonomous communities. By telling our stories of life in the concrete jungle, Las Cafeteras strives to make this ancient music relevant to everyday people in everyday places.

Las Cafeteras create a vibrant musical fusion with a unique East LA sound and a community-focused political message. Their Afro-Mexican rhythms, zapateado & inspiring lyrics tell stories of a community who is looking for love & fights for justice in the concrete jungle of Los Angeles.

"a uniquely Angeleno mishmash of punk, hip-hop, beat music, cumbia and rock … Live, they're magnetic." --LA Times
