B-Side Players || Listen
The B-Side Players make music without borders or boundaries. The band most recently released their seventh album, Fire In The Youth, (their first major record deal on Concord Records’ legendary imprint “Concord Picante”), incorporating the sounds of Cuba, Jamaica, Mexico and Brazil with a seamless blend of funk, rock, jazz and hip-hop rhythms. The band has been laying down their own inimitable global funk since they came together in 1994 and their albums have showcased a band with a restless musical intelligence, effortlessly blending genres to fashion their own forward-thinking, Latin flavored, future-funk. Fire In The Youth was produced by the band, with Musical Direction from Quetzal Flores, Bandleader of the Los Angeles roots-rock group, Quetzal.

¡Descarga! is a monthly Afro-Latin music gathering for the people. This event is an alternative to the commercial salsa nights that have dominated the LA scene for years. Resident DJs Sloe Poke, Mando, Bobby Soul, Loslito, Azul and Mexican Dubwiser spin classic salsa and cumbia; plus merengue, punta and reggaeton. With live bands gracing the stage at midnight at nearly every show, it has become the taste-making New York to L.A. soiree, running over 5 years strong.
