Trying to get out of a bland funk? From the land of chimichurri, mojo, and mole comes the flavorful second annual Latin Funk Music Festival, which should get your chops drooling and your cola wagging. Take a hit of Grammy-nominated Afro-Cuban soul group Yerba Buena, and let Suenalo wash it all down your Sound System. Pacha, DJ Leche, DJ Sabo, and Nil Lara, will also shake your peso maker with experimental hip-hop, reggae, samba, electronica, and meringue, while Inkhead bombers Rage Johnson and Ease will decorate the surroundings with live painting.
