A megawatt, ruled-by-the-groove Latin double bill that is not to be missed! For openers, PISTOLERA, the irresistible electric alt-folklorico band whose accordion- and guitar-driven music is “one part ranchera and one part indie-pop” (The New Yorker). Headlining, the funkiest North-of-the-border band to emerge in 10 years, the Prince-endorsed GRUPO FANTASMA (”Real musicians playing real music,” says the Purple One), who command an astonishing array of Latin music traditions and play it all with energy unto abandon.
