Town Hall, in partnership with El Centro de la Raza and KBCS 91.3 FM, celebrates the Mexican American experience in the United States through music, dance and song.
Featured artists include Son de Madera from Veracruz, Mexico in their Pacific Northwest debut. This scintillating five member ensemble is considered among Mexico’s finest exponents of Son Jarocho, the traditional song style, flavored with percussive dance, native to the state of Veracruz and blending Spanish, African, and Indian influences; Los Texmaniacs, from San Antonio, Texas, the hot conjunto playing rollicking Tejano dance music and rock and roll favorites with a Mexican American lilt; Eva Ybarra, the legendary south Texas singer, accordionist and bandleader guesting with Los Texmaniacs; and Bailadores de Bronce, Seattle’s outstanding Mexican folk dance ensemble performing dances from Veracruz and the Tex-Mex Borderlands.
There’ll be a dance floor in front of the Great Hall stage for audience members to kick up their heels. Come early for a pre-concert talk at 7:15 pm.
Advance tickets are $22/$19 for Town Hall members, seniors & students $25/$22 at the door. Call (800) 838-3006 for tickets.
