Latin Beats at the Bankhead!

I’m so excited for this one—Las Cafeteras are coming to the Bankhead and you do not want to miss it. Their music is this beautiful, high-energy mix of traditional Mexican folk 🇲🇽, cumbia, and electronic dance beats that just makes you want to move. I’ve always loved Latin music in all its forms—and this show is exactly the kind of thing I’d take my whole family to.

Their latest album, A Night In Nepantla, is packed with emotion—joy, struggle, celebration, identity—and it’s just as much a dance party as it is a cultural experience. Songs like “Cumbia de Mi Barrio” and “Esta Noche” are already on my playlist.

If you're looking for something vibrant, powerful, and fun to do together, this is it. Come ready to dance!
