“Uniquely Angeleno mishmash of punk, hip-hop, beat music, cumbia and rock.”—Los Angeles Times “Creative, socially conscious, it’s perfect”—NPR We’re happy to welcome back Las Cafeteras to the Epstein Family Amphitheater. Born and raised East of the Los Angeles River, Las Cafeteras are remixing roots music as modern-day troubadours. They are a sonic explosion of Afro-Mexican rhythms, electronic beats and powerful rhymes documenting stories of a community seeking to “build a world where many worlds fit.” Las Cafeteras have taken the music scene by storm with their infectious live performances and have crossed many genres and borders along the way. 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! From Afro-Mexican to Americana, from Soul to Son Jarocho, from Roots to Rock and Hip Hop, Las Cafeteras take folk music to the future. They honor the past by using electrifying traditional instrumentation like the 8-string Jarana, 4-string Requinto, Quijada (donkey jawbone) and Tarima (a wooden platform). Las Cafeteras sing in five distinct languages, English, Spanish, Spanglish, Love and Justice … and they believe everyone understands at least one of those languages.
