[5/23] Preview: Cinco Doce, La Vida Buena at Sahara Lounge

May 21, 2014 By Austin Vida Staff

Sahara Lounge May 23 Friday, May 23, East Austin live music venue The Sahara Lounge plays host to a great and diverse Latin music showcase from four of Austin’s best. Friday’s showcase marks the first time these four bands, headlined by salsa-fusion group La Vida Buena and Urban Tejano group Cinco Doce, have played together on one bill. Everything from hip-hop, salsa, Tejano and of course cumbia will be well represented.

La Vida Buena is arguably Austin’s hottest new Latin up-and-comer. Fronted by vocalist and KOOP Radio personality Vanessa Burden and Louie “Luison” Alarcon, La Vida Buena perform original tracks from their debut EP ¡Checkpoint Alpha! as well as salsa-fied covers of popular hip-hop and R&B tracks. La Vida Buena perform at 12:30 a.m.

Austin’s answer to Kumbia Kings, Kumbia All Starz, etc., Cinco Doce is emblematic of the young, bi-cultural Latino who loves mainstream urban music but is more than proud of their Tejano roots. They intertwine R&B, pop and hip-hop with traditional, often-synthed, cumbia beats. No cowboy hats and sparkly shirts on these guys. See Cinco Doce at 11 p.m.

Austin-based Cubana hip-hop duo Krudas Kubensi perform at 9:30 p.m while Organizacion Kumbiambera kick things off at 8 p.m.

The Sahara Lounge is located at 1413 Webberville Rd. Doors open at 7 p.m. Music starts at 8 p.m. 21+ welcome. $7 cover. Visit the Facebook event page here.
