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 are a sonic explosion of Afro-Mexican rhythms, electronic beats and powerful rhymes that remix roots music as modern-day troubadours. All ages and family-friendly.

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 have taken the music scene by storm with their infectious live performances, crossing many genres and borders along the way. The band's electric sound and energy has taken them around the world. They've played shows at Bonnaroo, the Hollywood Bowl, WOMAD New Zealand, Montreal Jazz, and have performed with and alongside Mexican icons Café Tacuba, Natalia LaFourcade, Lila Downs, Gypsy Kings, Colombian superstar Juanes, Hip Hop artist Common, Los Angeles legends Ozomatli, Los Lobos, the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra, and many more.
Born and raised in East of the Los Angeles River, Las Cafeteras remix 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 worlds fit.' 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 five distinct languages: English, Spanish, Spanglish, Love and Justice ... and they believe everyone understands at least one of those languages.
Their latest album is called A Night in Nepantla. Nepantla is a Nahuatl word which translates to the "in-between" or "in the middle." A term used to describe the navigation of multiple, often conflicting, cultural, and identity borders. "As a band, we deeply resonate with the land of 'Nepantla' and feel that we live in the middle of multiple worlds, sounds and identities ... and this album invites others to sonically join us in our joy, grief, struggle and liberation in Nepantla." https://lascafeteras.bandcamp.com/album/a-night-in-nepantla
