💃🏽❤️‍🔥 Still thinking about this afternoon. Discos Resaca Collective had people dancing from the very first cumbia and Las Cafeteras carried that vibe all the way through the afternoon with their zapateados, pop covers and original songs rooted in the movement. This show was an unreal dance party, complete with a conga line weaving through the audience.

Shoutouts to KALW DJ Margarita Azúcar and all of our partners who helped bring this one together.
