CAFE TACVBA TRIBUTE - LA CHILANGA BANDA 

Long-revered abroad and stateside, Cafe Tacvba are pioneers in the early '90s wave of Mexican alternative rock for their combination of folk, hip hop, punk, ska and Norteño music that paved the way for later acts in the years to come. But local fans can get a dose of their live show experience with long beach based band LA CHILANGA BANDA A TRIBUTE TO CAFE TACVBA. Taking their name from the title of a Cafe Tacvba song, La Chilanga Banda performs their avalanche of hits with a heavy ska sound that espouses a playful energy and upbeat dance feel, and sometimes even a lead singer who dresses in a Chapulin Colorado costume (Mexico's parodic answer to Superman, look him up). La Chilanga Banda will get you skanking and grooving in no time flat— so sing along if you know the words.
