As summer approaches our thoughts turn towards travel. Many part time Vallarta residents have already headed home where they will now visit their local shores, lakes and rivers in pleasant summer weather and enjoy friends and family back home. Locals will also begin exploring as they face a slightly slower tourist period and take advantage of school vacations to enjoy some relaxation here, abroad or in other parts of Mexico. There will surely be festivals and summer events to attend. The end of this month marks a dramatic change in the weekly calendars of venues around town.
This week will showcase the last shows of the season by the popular band Media Luna as they head out for summer adventures. San Miguel de Allende will enjoy some concerts as will the area around their own home town, Pachuca, Hidalgo. The group plans to spend some time in Mexico City as well, experiencing and sharing in the always creative musical energy of the capital’s youth. A trip to Canada is also on the horizon before they return to us for next season. We wish them well and will anxiously await their return looking forward to the continually evolving musical innovations of this talented group made up of brothers Jaír and Caleb Cabrera and cousin Gibran Monzalvo Cabrera and their incredible guitars.
Media Luna will give us an exciting farewell concert at Incanto Cabaret Theater this Thursday, April 18 at 7:00PM (incantovallarta.com for tickets). They will perform at their usual times at Cuates y Cuetes (Tuesday and Saturday 6-8) and their last show for the season at Babel Bar on Sunday afternoon, April 21. Be sure to catch them!
Tatewari just gave their last concert performance at Incanto for the season and as I predicted, it was the best yet! With invited guest the beautiful songstress Perla Alarcón they absolutely enchanted the audience. This group of childhood friends from La Cruz de Huanacaxtle share tremendous love and energy as well as their over the top talent! I am certain we will see more of them at Incanto in the Fall. To add to the romantically charged evening there was even a proposal of marriage! Congratulations and much happiness to Sonny and Mariel!
Tatewari plans to continue playing fiery flamenco music at Cuates y Cuetes on Wednesday evenings throughout the Summer.
While some of our usual venues will still be providing great music others will close down their entertainment for the summer season. The Palm has finished their season until sometime in the fall while Incanto will probably continue to offer entertainment throughout most of the summer. The legendary Bambinos’s have created a fun ceviche and marisco menu for a more relaxed summer at their Trattoria Bambinos location on Aguacate and Carranza while the musicians travel and plan for the next season.
Babel Bar on the River Cuale plans to continue to offer wonderful musical afternoons at their refreshing outdoor setting. Their exciting lineup of local entertainers will include the harp and violin of Tajin’s Nestor and Magali and the inspired flamenco guitars of Lobo and Esaú. They will also have music on some evenings. During the rest of April you can hear Mexico City’s Jazz manouche group Faralae with the voice of Liliana Buneder on Saturdays. For more information and updates check the calendar on my website vallartasounds.com.
I plan to take some time this summer to explore music in other areas of the country. On my agenda is Vera Cruz with its exciting Jarocho music. One of my resources for this trip will be Aldo of Puerto Cafe at Morelos 540 where they have been holding some fun and informative Fandango parties lately with live music from Vera Cruz and dancing accompanied by rich cups of their specially brewed coffees.
