Join us for the continuing celebration of the recent record release of The Pilsen Soundtrack 1.0. This independent production features 7 bands of Pilsen/Chicago musicians that live and/or work in Pilsen, the heart of the immigrant and Mexican community in Chicago. The bands on the recording cover genres that range from traditional Mexican music and Cuban son to ska, bossa nova and alternative rock. Two of these popular bands; Fandanguero and Son del Viento will take the stage with a uniquely Chicago take on the Son Jarocho tradition. The soundtrack also features: Azul de Noche, Los Vicios de Papá, LFT, Tarima Son and Benjamín Anaya & Los Extraños Unidos.

A Zapateado and Jarocho instrumental workshop will be offered in the Thursday Workshop Series.
