FINALLY, summer festival season is here! Dios Mio, how I have waited for this moment! We’ve kicked it off with the UCLA Latino Festival this past Saturday April 3rd. In years past we’ve had the opportunity to check out bands like Oro Solido and Very Be Careful at this annual event, which has always proven to be one of the best ways to begin the Spring season with great food, awesome performances, endless space to dance and to top it off it’s free!
Conjunto Afro-Son, one of Los Angeles’ premiere Salsa bands took over La Granada in Alhambra on Friday night. I admired the stage and the anticipation grew as I saw some of the city’s best musicians tear it up. Led by Bobby Escoto this group of seasoned musicians took over La Granada on April 2nd and gave rumberos a night filled with great music, energy and sazon!
This Saturday night April 3rd, tune in, or log on, to KPFK 90.7 FM.
TRAVEL TIPS FOR AZTLAN hosts VERY BE CAREFUL for a live in-studio performance!

A friend of mine had told me about La Bomba Mix, “you gotta hear this band, they have so much energy its fun to see them on stage.” I went to the Mayan that night, not knowing what to expect. All I knew is that with the Mayan, you can never go wrong. I was ecstatic to hear that La Bomba Mix would be performing that night. Read More
