Making Movies

José Alberto "El Canario," Felipe Luciano, Nina Vicious, Bobbito Garcia, Flor de Toloache, Oxymorrons, and more are performing at NYC's seventh Afro-Latino Festival.

Honoring the legacy of folk musician and activist (and festival founder) Pete Seeger, this is the 40th anniversary of Clearwater and the lineup also includes The Mavericks, Dave Alvin & Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Rhiannon Giddens, David Byrne cohorts Choir! Choir! Choir!, Ani DiFranco, and more.

They're also touring with Hurray for the Riff Raff and playing a few headlining shows.

We already mentioned that Hurray For the Riff Raff have some shows coming up including a NYC date at Bowery Ballroom on November 4 with Making Movies and Las Cafeteras. It turns out that show is actually a mini one-night festival the band is putting on called Nosotros Fest...

Their free Prospect Park show is this week.

As mentioned, the CBGB Music & Film Festival is back for a third year, going down October 8 - 12 at venues across NYC. The initial lineup for this year was just announced and includes Jane's Addiction, Devo, Billy Idol, Macy Gray, The Muffs, Upset, Duff McKagan, and more...
