Las Cafeteras

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

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, frorock 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’.
