Latinos Rock, EastLos rules. Las Cafeteras comes home. By Patrick O’Heffernan

December 16, 2015

  (Los Angeles) The US Census predicts that by 2020 one out of every three North Americans will be Latino. Ground zero for  this demographic earthquake is East Los Angeles – EastLos to locals – a bubbling cauldron of musical creativity and political energy that is emerging as a national force   by fusing American Latin Music and the movement for social justice. The power and joy of that fusion was on full display Saturday night at LA’s venerable El Rey Theater as the native East LA band, Las Cafeteras, took the stage, accompanied by an international mix of  musicians and dancers who rocked, sang, danced and delivered political messages for over four hours.   Las Cafeteras headlined and curated the evening which celebrated their return home after two tours that took them away for most of the year.
