The music of HURAKAN is based on tribal rhythms and modern beats. Drums and flutes made out of clay and wood, seashells, bones and seeds, are part of the distinctive sounds of the band.  Beautifully poetic passages and lyrics are written in both Spanish and Nahuatl. HURAKAN will offer the audience an experience to explore the importance of historical memory and cultural pride. In addition HURAKAN also projects the sensation of empowerment through the celebration of diversity and unity, or just simply a trip.

Las Cafeteras combines the vibrant energy of Son Jarocho music with an edgy LA-alternative sound & political message. Their pounding Afro-Mexican rhythms, stomping zapateado dancing, & uplifting lyrics tell stories of everyday people searching for love & fighting for justice in the concrete jungle. This alt-son group re-mixes traditional sounds, adding Afro-Carribean marimbol, Native American drum & flute, cajon, hip hop, English & Spanglish to Jarocho instruments like jarana & requinto guitars, donkey jaw-bone, & the tarima (stomp box).
