Las Cafeteras


The Kessler Theater

Las Cafeteras seamlessly fuse traditional Afro-Mexican music from Veracruz, Mexico with modern rhythms and lyrically rich storytelling to create a fresh Urban Folk sound from the streets of East Los Angeles.

Their eclectic instrumentation includes jaranas, a requinto, a donkey jawbone, a West Africa descended bass instrument called the Marimbol, cajón , and a wooden platform called the Tarima used to dance Zapateado.

Las Cafeteras dance effortlessly across musical borders playing infectious shows with bands such as Mexican icons Café Tacuba , Lila Downs, Colombian superstar Juanes , Los Lobos, Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros and most recently with the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra.
