Grand Performances joins hands with KCRW and Tu Ciudad for our second Sounds Eclectico evening, featuring Tijuana-based Nortec Collective and a half-dozen of that city’s best Banda musicians. This creative collage of DJs, graphic designers and artists splices, dices, copies and reconfigures sounds from norteño and banda Sinaloanese groups; lifts the most enticing snippets of accordion hiccups, tuba riffs and squirrelly snare-drum rolls; transposes those materials to a digital studio and creates sumptuous electronica soundscapes that, in Mexico and now across the length and breadth of Los Angeles, have fans dancing and rocking to their inventive beats. Camilo Lara, the genius behind Mexican Institute of Sound opens the evening with a fusion of cumbia, cha cha, and dubby electronics bubblescapes. SPIN magazine calls the sound “Patio-friendly, Esquivel-style, cocktail-party vibe jams for people whose drink of choice is the mangopolitan.” Raul Campus, host of KCRW's Nocturna will host the evening.
