Vintage Cuban son music from Malamanya and a wide open dance floor takes the fear out of this Friday the 13th! KFAI's Radio Pocho open with a DJ set.

"Malamanya is a Minneapolis-based band that celebrates the traditional rhythms and melodies of Cuban son, salsa, samba, and the local music of Central and Latin America while adding a touch of our own ritmo to the mix with our original song writing. The acoustic driven dance rhythms draw on the organic form of days gone by. Convivial and contagious they bring "el sabor" of nostalgic times past into the present."

Malamanya Residency Moves To The Eagles Club.

I was able to record the last night of Malamanya's residency at The Driftwood. Starting next Tuesday September 6th Malamanya starts another Tuesday night residency at The Eagles Club in South Minneapolis.

09-03 - Hell's Kitchen (6-9pm)
09-06 - The Eagles Club (8-midnight)
09-16 - The Cedar
09-17 - First Avenue (Mainroom)

Malamanya Score 2 Choice Gigs.

Not familiar with Malamanya? Danny Sigelman's article Malamanya bring Cuban son to South Minneapolis is a great introduction. After wrapping up their summer long residency at The Driftwood this coming Tuesday 8/30 Malamanya are ready to start playing out in some of the city's bigger venues. Don't sleep on this band.

Cut Me In Two Again.

Who likes options? I'm going to some how find a way to record 2 of these shows. Unfortunately I don't be staying in the Mainroom/Entry all night. That would just be too easy. However, that combination is highly recommended if you're not hauling 90 pounds of gear around and trying to be fair.
