Bewitching Cumbia from Oakland’s LA MISA NEGRA at MALABOMBA!

Colombia’s musical export, cumbia, has taken the world by storm. Almost every Latin American country has taken
the insistent, throbbing bass and driving percussion and put their own spin on it...Peru has Chicha, Argentina has
Cumbia villera, Mexico has Cumbia sonidera. You’ll even hear Balkan brass bands thumbing out cumbia tunes from
Skopje to Guca. But on Wednesday, June 27th, MALABOMBA! takes cumbia back to its Colombian roots with
LA MISA NEGRA!

LA MISA NEGRA is an 8-piece, Oakland-based band delivering a very unique blend of high-energy cumbia that
embraces the various styles of 1950's and 60's era Afro-Colombian music. Whether it be through the infectious rhythm
of Cumbia Costeña, the vintage groove of Porro, or the frantic pulse of Gaita, La Misa Negra is guaranteed to heat up
the dance floor. Since debuting at Oakland's Era Art Lounge in the Fall of 2011, La Misa Negra has shared the stage
with Nortec Collective, Celso Piña and Cumbia legends, La Sonora Dinamita.

Your hosts, DJ Jason Savvy and DJ Cat Hair, remind you to get to La Cita early and stay late for the best dance party
in town. They’ll be taking connecting the dots between cumbia, Thai mambo, Russian cha cha, Balkan brass, chalga,
klezmer, and other outernational sounds sure to keep your head spinning and your ass shaking.

Wednesday, June 27th, 9 PM until last call
at La Cita Bar, 336 S. Hill St, LA 90013
