¡Mujeres Adelante!: A Celebration of Latina Voices w/ Grupo Fantasma, Carrie Rodriguez, Lisa Morales, Her Mana, the Tiarras, DJ EPZ

Renacimiento – renaissance. LatinATX blooms show by show lately. Reports from Adrian Quesada’s Long Center extravaganza recently describe a near festival of sorts. His former mother ship, Grupo Fantasma – mostly pulled here from the badlands of millennial Laredo – align with the guitarist’s Boleros Psicodélicos in throwing a noche de las señoras. Carrie Rodriguez, Lisa Morales, Emilie Basez, Kate Robberson, the Tiarras, y más front the local Latin orchestra, a powerhouse rhythm and brass juggernaut since día numero uno. Quesada’s Jaguar Sound set at Antone’s first annual blues festival at the Moody Amphitheater this summer prompts something of a no-brainer, perhaps: time for a first annual Grupo Fantasma festival. —73703
