This is an adorable photo taken by my friend DJ Chela and I had to share. It was taken at the Fifth Annual Selena Quintanilla Fan Gathering held in Los Angeles.

Las Cafeteras: this band is SO great. Catch them if you can.

Voted LA’s ‘Best Latin Alternative Band,’
Las Cafeteras comes to the East Coast to
do more than just play music.
Los Angeles, CA (February 6, 2014) – After a successful 3-month Northwest and Midwest Tour this past fall that had them open for groups like Juanes, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, and the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra, Las Cafeteras hit the road again.
This time, Las Cafeteras are going to different parts of the country and will be engaging communities in the East Coast (Boston, New York, Philadelphia), Texas (Austin), Florida (Miami), and Northern California. Along with their performances, Las Cafeteras will also be having cultural exchanges with universities, museums, and immigrant rights organizations with the purpose of sharing stories from their respective cities.
Las Cafeteras’ musician David Flores says, “we believe that we are all the same because we are all different and we want to use our tour as a platform to inspire people across the country to share their story through poetry, storytelling and art.”
