We are super bummed to report that Lido Pimienta is sick and not able to come to Santa Fe this weekend.  We had such a great time with her in March and were really looking forward to her tearing it up at the Railyard.  We hope she feels better soon and apologize for any inconvenience.

• Food and drink are available inside Second Street Brewery and Violet Crown Cinema, plus food trucks will be available.

Register for the event and we'll also send you updates if there are any schedule changes as well as info on future free programs and events around Santa Fe and Albuquerque.

We are excited that Frontera Bugalú has jumped in to keep the party going, and DJ Erin E will kick off the night with a Cumbia Latin DJ set.

Frontera Bugalú pays homage to music unique to the long Texas/Mexico border that stretches from Brownsville to El Paso: high-energy cumbia blended with the “border folk” of traditional accordion-fronted Mexican music and of other Latin rhythms. The band began as a collaboration between accordionist/singer Kiko Rodriguez and keyboardist Joel Osvaldo, two veterans of El Paso’s punk, rock, and roots music scenes. The band channels the vibrant shared culture of El Paso and Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, and embodies the new sound of the border, one that embraces both sides of the Rio Grande. 

Nacha Mendez's music is an expression of her curiosity, her varied experience and restless passion for living. It refuses to fit neatly into any one genre, fearlessly drawing on a wide range of influences to expand the definition of Latin music. Yet filtered through her powerful voice, these various threads come together in a single unified expression.

DJ Erin E is an electronic omnivore delighting in authentic sounds in unexpected places. A Santa Fe based dj, she is known for her energetic and genre-bending dj sets that touch on nu-cumbia, folklorico, house and techno.
