MEDIA LUNA

Looks like Media Luna will be taking a sort of sabbatical this winter to be closer to family in Hidalgo. They will probably travel to Puerto Vallarta for some shows and also to San Miguel de Allende where they began their successful career. A side to San Miguel is always worthwhile. Check my schedule of events where I will post their San Miguel concerts as I learn of them! Meanwhile look for the fellows who have played with them over the years as they join their fellow musicians for tremendous jazz and Latin fusion performances.

2023 News just in from Caleb Cabrera!

Great news for people in or near Nuevo Vallarta! Cuates Cafe sister establishment to Cuates y Cuetes in Puerto Vallarta, located on Blvd Nuevo Vallarta 220, Nuevo Vallarta, has introduced dinners on Friday and Saturday nights with a special and innovative menu AND live music by Media Luna from 7-9PM. The restaurant is already a favorite for breakfast and lunch but there is nothing like sitting on the beautiful garden patio in the evening with your friends or family listening to our favorite band over a gourmet meal prepared by their talented chef and served by a professional and attentive staff!

Media Luna is also still playing Sunday, Monday and Tuesday at the original Cuates y Cuetes in front of the old pier in the Romantic Zone of Puerto Vallarta on Francisca Rodriguez 101, from 8:30 to 10:00 PM.

Enjoy the music by these incredible musicians!

The renowned group that blessed Puerto Vallarta in 2018 with its innovative and energetic presence was Media Luna. The group was created by two brothers, Caleb and Jair Cabrera from Pachuca, Hidalgo. For 2020-2021 they were performing in San Miguel de Allende and have just returned to Puerto Vallarta with an exciting line-up now that clubs are beginning to open fully again.

These young men started their career together in 2014 and have been setting their adopted homes of San Miguel de Allende and Puerto Vallarta on fire for the last several years combining gypsy rumba, flamenco, rock and huapango. It is an understatement to say they have taken Puerto Vallarta by storm with their original compositions and innovative arrangements of traditional pieces. Their shows in the cabaret at Incanto have been extremely popular. Caleb enjoys surprising his audiences with invited guests who make the show even more spectacular.

They have drawn large crowds at Cuates y Cuetes near the pier on Los Muertos Beach and were a sell out at Babel Bar on the River Cuale until the pandemic and closure of the popular venue. They have excited crowds at the elegant club Incanto on the River Cuale for several years now. The group and their guests were a tremendous hit at the first ever Bahia World Music Festival in 2019 which was produced by Jair along with yours truly. They hope to be back for 2021 if the pandemic permits!

This years line up for Media Luna is growing and features brothers Caleb and Jair on guitar accompanied by invitation by the inspiring Roberto Falcon on bass and Mariel Ramos on violin and Dani Choi on percussion. They have performances scheduled for Cuates y Cuetes Sunday, Monday and Tuesday evenings at 8:30 and at Incanto for brunch on Sundays. The group travels every month to San Miguel de Allende where they perform four consecutive shows for Paprika Restaurant and music venue (see schedule on Calendar of Events). They also put on a tremendous show at the renowned Tree House Bar and Grill on Coral Street in La Cruz de Huanacaxtle on Wednesday evenings.
