Now in it’s 3rd year of existence, Xemumba will be making it’s annual appearance this weekend at Kenny Dorham’s Backyard (check that map if you don’t know where that is). This is an all day event with cheap ticket prices and tons of bands to wet your appetite for latin flavor. A full list of bands can be seen on the attached fancy flier created by Bemba Entertainment (also producers of the event). You can get tickets at the door for $15 if you don’t buy them in advance. Also, check out some coverage we provided of last year’s fest at Mohawk.
The Latin music festival known as Xemumba can best be summarized as an audio/visual extravaganza that takes hold of your senses and never lets go. One minute you’re sipping on a beer listening to the latest salsa coming out of Cuba, and then your running upstairs to watch the UT ballet folklorico cuttin’ a rug. Oh and then you have tasty South American treats to munch on, while watching a Spanish documentary made by local film makers. Xemumba even had opportunities to help out less fortunate young hispanic girls in the community. Not impressed yet? After the jump is a quick review of each band we saw on Friday at the festival with photos (Saturday unfortunately was postponed to a later date. We’ll of course let you know when the event is rescheduled).
