Acclaimed LA band Las Cafeteras and fan favorites Mostly Kosher bring their diverse and quintessentially So Cal sounds to Union Station’s virtual performance experience Holiday Sound Tracks this season. The event is in collaboration with Metro Arts Presents.
Celebrate the unique 2020 holiday season with these reimagined performances that can be viewed from the comfort of your own home. Union Station fans, friends and followers can enjoy the eclectic sets featuring each band’s distinctive spin on holiday classics set against the historic backdrop of the station’s majestic South Patio.
Hailed as a fusion of punk, hip-hop, beat music, cumbia and rock, Las Cafeteras sets inspiring lyrics against Afro-Mexican beats, rhythms and rhymes to create a vibrant musical fusion with a unique East LA sound. The band’s dynamic live performances have been acclaimed around the world, from Bonnaroo to the Hollywood Bowl to WOMAD New Zealand and the Montreal Jazz Festival. Las Cafeteras has performed with Mexican icons Caifanes, Lila Downs, Colombian superstar Juanes, Los Angeles legends Ozomatli, folk/indie favorites Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra, and Talib Kweli.
Mostly Kosher, the acclaimed klezmer gypsy-rock band, radically reconstructs Judaic and American cultural music through ravenous klezmer beats and arresting Yiddish refrains. A well-known Southern California fixture, they have performed at The Ford, the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, the Skirball Cultural Center, Livermore Valley Performing Arts Center as well as Disneyland.
