Event Description

Come down to Barbes, Park Slope, for the Brooklyn vibe and launch the month of November right with Los Cenzontles (The Mocking Birds). Their very modern yet very traditional sound proves that these California/Mexicans easily know how to mix the classic with the contemporary.

“The Bay area Mexican Roots music effortlessly mix electric bass and drums with traditional Mexican instruments – jarana, vihuela, requinto, pandero and quijada (jawbone) – creating a powerful contemporary sound infused with the gutsy soul of Mexico’s rural roots music. The group, directed by Grammy-nominated producer Eugene Rodriguez has performed and recorded alongside Los Lobos, Mariachi Los Camperos de Nati Cano, Grupo Mono Blanco, Los Tigres del Norte, Lalo Guerrero, Flaco Jiménez, and Santiago Jiménez Jr. Their new CD “American Horizon” with Taj Mahal and David Hidalgo will be released on 11/03.”- Barbes
