ABOUT LA MISA NEGRA
Hailing from Oakland, Calif., this seven-piece powerhouse delivers an electrifying blend of heavyweight cumbia and high-energy, Afro-Latin music to create infectious dance grooves with punk rock energy. Powered by horn and accordion-driven riffs, a fierce rhythm section, and a vintage Colombian sound, the band was founded by composer, guitarist, and accordion player, Marco Polo Santiago, and consists of Colombian-born Diana Trujillo (lead vocals), Justin Chin (tenor and baritone sax), Morgan Nilsen (tenor sax and clarinet), Craig Bravo (drums and percussion), Elena de Troya (percussion) and Paul Martin Sounder (upright bass and percussion). Together, the unlikely collective draws inspiration from musical influences as wide-ranging as their cultural backgrounds, but it’s Marco Polo’s affinity for hip-hop and heavy metal that flavors much of the band’s sound and identity. The symbolism behind their name pays tribute to the genre’s African roots and Caribbean heritage, and celebrates the spirit and ritual of dance.
ABOUT INTERMINABLE
Interminable is a Philly-based futuristic fusion project, born out of a chance encounter on the train. These days, Interminable explores the modern diasporic experience, with covers and originals both in English and Spanish. Through their music, Interminable gives voice to socio-political themes often ignored, like displacement, migration, and identity. Ximena Violante sings and plays the electric guitar and jarana, a Mexican instrument. Marty Gottlieb-Hollis (Upholstery, Hardwork Movement) and Becca Graham (Honeychile, Hardwork Movement) on trumpets and St. Clair Simmons on trombone join forces as a horn section. Joe Perullo on drums and Yeho Bostick (Circadian Rhythms) on bass solidify the rhythmic backbeat.
