The bands....

Maneja Beto (12:30 a.m.) is a five-piece, indie en Español fusion band similar to bands like Latin alternative legends Café Tacvba and Aterciopelados.

La Guerrilla (11:30 p.m.) is a Latin pop fusion of experimantal sounds from South America and the Caribbean. Percussion, horns and even magaphones all come into to play when these guys take the stage.

Este Vato (10:15 p.m.) are serious up-and-comers on the Austin music scene, seamlessly mixing hip hop, cumbia, and rock en Español.

El Tule (9 p.m.) combines influences of cumbia, Afro-Cuban, rock, merengue, salsa and reggae. The music is influenced by art, history and culture often focuses on legends and tales of the mystical.
