*Cecilia and the Broken Hearts play and promote afro-chicano-futurism. https://www.facebook.com/CeciliaAndTheBrokenHearts/?fref=ts
*Huerta Culture plays dance music for parties. The band mixes cumbia, ska, reggae, hip-hop, blues, rock, and balkan influences to create a sound that has been dubbed 'psichocumbia'. With 4 singers in the band sometimes all switching verses throughout a song and singing in English, Spanish, and Quechua (an indigenous language of Bolivia), Huerta Culture keeps arrangements dynamic and eclectic. The phat bass and rhythmic keys are accompanied by a wizard trumpet. Some songs also feature the guacharaca and the Andean pan pipes. In 2014 Huerta Culture released the full length album HOMEGROWN.

Huerta Culture is also happy to have been included on this compilation album recently distributed at the Latin Alternative Music Conference (LAMC) in New York. https://www.facebook.com/huertaculture/posts/895360563836123
