Wednesday, July 24 – 6:30pm – XicanIndie Music on Film – Chavela– Chavela takes viewers on an evocative, thought-provoking journey through the iconoclastic life of game-changing artist Chavela Vargas. Centered around never before-seen interview footage of Chavela shot 20 years before her death in 2012, and guided by the stories in Chavela’s songs, and the myths and tales others have told about her- as well as those she spread about herself- the film weaves an arresting portrait of a woman who dared to dress, speak, sing and dream her unique life into being.

Thursday, July 25 – 7pm – The Chicano Music Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony and Concert will introduce the 2019 class of Colorado musical pioneers.  Come celebrate with the new class of inductees and enjoy performances from previous inductees, musicians and bands that span over 60 years of musical performances. The evening will carry on the tradition of honoring Colorado musicians that bring their unique and important contributions to Colorado’s Chicano music scene and advance the Chicano musical aesthetic.

Friday, July 26 – 7pm – Chicano Roots Jam Session – For the third year, the Chicano Roots Jam Session will give local and visiting musicians, percussionists, vocalists, and more the opportunity to share their music with other like-minded artists.  Don’t miss this fun event filled with song, music, dancing, drink specials and food.  Bring your musical instrument and talent for a jam session that will rock the night!

Saturday, July 27 – 6 to 11pm – Summer Pachanga…Tirar la chancla!…Dance your behind off!  Su Teatro’s annual Summer Pachanga is everything you hope for in an outdoor dance party and barbeque. The bands will be playing music of New Mexico, Texas, Mexico and the Caribbean throughout the evening.  As part of Su Teatro’s annual Chicano Music Festival, a live art auction and silent auction is a highlight of the evening.  Bid on beautiful pieces of one of a kind art, as well as exciting deals on things you never thought you needed!

Visiting artists from San Antonio, Texas, Los Nahuatlatos are a group of musicians with deep roots to their Xicano-Indigenous heritage whose mission is to create original, inspiring and innovative music on a conscious level that people of all ages and backgrounds can enjoy.

Self-described as “Xicano Roots Fusion,” their music is a synthesis of traditional Latino styles. From Conjunto to Reggae, Chicano Soul to Cumbia and Ska, Los Nahuatlatos don’t so much straddle the line as find the groove in between worlds.

Sunday, July 28 – 5 to 9pm – Mariachi Tardeada…Back to back Mariachi!  Ending the festival con Mariachi is a perfect way to remember and rejoice in our Mexican musical roots.  Our Mariachi Tardeada is perfect for the entire family and offers the heart and soul of Mexico here at Su Teatro.  Give your spirit a boost with an afternoon filled with Musica Mariachi!  We’ll still have plenty to eat, drink and bid on as the final live and silent auction items are sold.
