Description

La Misa Negra is an 8-piece band from Oakland, CA that plays a unique blend of 1950's and 60's style Cumbia and high-energy, Afro-Colombian dance music. Powered by horn and accordion-driven riffs, a raucous rhythm section and a vintage Colombian sound, La Misa Negra delivers a killer show that explodes with infectious dance grooves and punk rock energy. Since their live debut in the fall of 2011, La Misa Negra has toured extensively throughout California, playing shows and festivals with Celso Piņa, Nortec Collective, La Santa Cecilia, Chico Trujillo, Sergent Garcia, Very Be Careful, Souls of Mischief, Jarabe de Palo, Meshell Ndegeocello, and many others. On the strength of their unique sound and wild shows, La Misa Negra has quickly gained a reputation as one of the Bay Area's most exciting live bands and, in the process, is building a diverse fan base that transcends musical, cultural and generational divides.
