Grupo Fantasma @ Black Cat - Washington, DC

Hey, One of our members suggested the idea of having a meetup for this band and I thought this might work out. They are not exactly a rock band but a latin funk orchestra from Austin, TX. In fact, their latest album "Sonidos Gold" has been Grammy nominated for Best Latin Rock Or Alternative Album. Tickets are $15+conv fees and you can buy yours on ticketmaster I'll try to be at the red room bar -the bar inside the black cat- @8:15pm. Let's have a drink or two, relax, and then go upstairs to the main stage. The show is supposed to start @9pm. Check them out on their myspace page or their official site Thanks JohnA for mentioning this concert. See ya, Alonso From the Black Cat website: Known as the funkiest, finest and hardest-working latin orchestra to come out of the United States in the last decade, Grupo Fantasma's trademark sound has translated comprehensively onto their new album Sonidos Gold. The record is an incredible and animated performance interwoven with mature and intelligent songwriting that is equally at home with the classic 1960s Fania All-Stars sound AND the progressive benchmark set by artists such as Manu Chao. Guided by the deeply rooted traditions of cumbia, salsa, funk, and pyschedelia this masterful Grupo Fantasma has forged a fresh new standard of excellence in latin music.
