superfonicos, OCT. 14
Superfónicos is Colombian Funk. Better yet, it is Caríbe Soul…fed by the Indigenous and African roots of the band’s Colombian heritage, telegraphing a politics of peace and unity from the stage to your ears. They only ask that you dance toward a place in your mind beyond struggle and strife.

More About the Brownsville latin jazz festival
The story of the only annual Latin Jazz Event in Texas for over 25 years
Inaugurated by the late great "King of Latin Music" Tito Puente in 1997, the brainchild of the late George Ramirez, the BLJ Festival has entertained tens of thousands, expanded our musical boundaries, generated tourism, and improved our quality of life. Inspired by Tito's example during his visit, the Festival has educated hundreds of music students, educators, and working artists by presenting the free clinics, master classes, and personal performances he encouraged us to produce.
The Brownsville Latin Jazz Festival is the oldest festival of its kind in Texas, regarded as one of the best of its kind in the country, and is well known as a small, great festival that has preserved its quality, authenticity, and identity for over two decades.
Latin Jazz is a broad, inclusive genre that brings everyone together through primal irresistible rhythms. It makes everyone feel they belong to multiple cultures, not just one or two. Come join us... bring the family, including grandma and the kids. Don't forget to invite your friends and acquaintances from out of town - we'll help you host them
