Baila con los muertos, at the Calaca Café!  
Party with giant dancing puppets and Cucui trouble makers, for a historical Zúm Zúm Zúm reunion fundraiser concert and album release fiesta that features a musical line-up of global rhythms from some of the Valleys most popular bands!

Audiences will be the first to hear Zarco’s new record debuting in October, produced by Sergio Mendoza. A Valley favorite in the 80s and 90s, the legendary Zúm Zúm Zúm was known for their high energy samba/batucadas, spicy salsa, reggae and cumbias. Opening the night with the vibrant DJ Sunny Z and closing the evening is QVLN with his blue electric violin playing his own brand of world music.

The night will also feature local band Enparoxismo, an English/Spanish musical project with experimental Latin Rock and colorful characters in costumes that mix Aztec with punk fashions. Followed by longtime Valley favorite Power Drive, a 7-piece bi-lingual and bi-cultural band that mixes contemporary pop and Latin music. Bring your dancing shoes!

This one-night only concert benefits local non-profit Cultural Coalition and the work we do with Chicano, Indigenous, and BIPOC artists, including our free daily after school arts programs provided to underserved youth in the Valley.
