LAS EMPANADAS ILEGALES
8.30
Tickets are $17.50 + HST available here
Percussive and rhythmic, Empanadas Ilegales combines conventional Latin sounds and instruments with steady undertones of surf rock and psych. They’re experimental and groovy, with upbeat, guitar-forward riffs that keep parties rockin’ and dancefloors full. To summarize, this is not “traditional” Latin music, but much more layered, colourful and interplanetary.
