Las Cafeteras

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!

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 that document stories of a community seeking to ‘build a world where many world fit.’

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.

Las Cafeteras 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 5 distinct languages, English, Spanish, Spanglish, Love and Justice … and they believe everyone understands at least one of those languages.

Ritmo Cascabel

Ritmo Cascabel burst onto Denver’s music scene in late 2021 bringing a fresh fusion of cumbia, western, and rock ‘n’ roll that quickly became a local sensation. Their semi-regular “Cumbia Nights” have become a vibe on the south broadway strip, showcasing latin bands, djs, music, food and culture at beloved Denver venue: the Hi-Dive. Paired with their unique style, the band’s high-energy, dance-inducing sound has captivated audiences across North America and beyond.
