  On Friday January 9th a sonic heatwave is set to sizzle DC as Austin's Grammy-nominated Latin funk orchestra, Grupo Fantasma, performs live at the Black Cat. The eleven piece unit of Grupo Fantasma is best known for their exuberant live shows and their recent association with Prince, having backed him on numerous occasions, including his performance on the ALMA Awards in 2007. Grupo Fantasma, who just received a Grammy Nomination for Best Latin Alternative Album for "Sonidos Gold," is currently touring the east-coast for a string of winter dates. Their DC show will be set off by 2 hometown acts, namely, Batala, a 14-piece stellar band of female drummers who will be followed by Nayas, whose Tropical Rock always heats up the crowd. And to top things off, VIVA 900's DJ Rockactivo will keep the party going between sets with his frentic mix of Latin jams. Tickets are $15 and are On Sale Now at all Ticketmaster and Ritmo Latino Outlets. Doors Open @ 9PM for this All Ages Show.
