Description
Imagine Main Plaza filled to capacity with familia: Abuela just danced to Flaco’s rendition of “Hey baby, que paso?” as her granddaughter anxiously awaits Girl in a Coma – her rocking role models now carrying the torch of San Antonio music nation-wide. Tia is “Riding my Thumb to Mexico” –two-stepping to Johnny Rodriguez while across the Plaza, little ones are mesmerized by the magic of Alberto The Great. Night falls with fire spinners and aerial performers while Flaco and Johnny are having a Lone Star back-stage. The Krayolas with The Westside Horns are performing their critically acclaimed nuevo-tradition corrido, and Alejandro Escovedo is listening from the wings.
This is the 2nd Annual San Antonio Latino Music Festival – an event where San Antonio and its visitors experience family and cultura – a free event that invites an intergenerational audience to celebrate San Antonio roots under our beautiful Texas sky. This is downtown San Antonio. This is Main Plaza.
Main Plaza’s LATINO MUSIC FESTIVAL also includes:
PLAZA ESPECTÁCULO
Intimate plaza-level performances during music breaks located throughout the Plaza featuring dance, fire, magic, and low-riders.
EL CORAZÓN DE MEMORIA
Main Plaza’s Dia de los Muertos Altar by David Zamora Casas will remain on display through November 8, 2009.
