Description

Mexico City's Marimba misfits arrive in La Phoenikera. Son Rompe Pera arrives in La Phoenikera because our city too hot to skip! Born and raised in the deep outskirts of Mexico City, the Gama brothers are keeping alive the rich legacy of marimba music running through their family with their latest project, Son Rompe Pera. While firmly rooted in the tradition of this historic instrument, their fresh take on the folk icon challenges its limits as never before, moving it into the garage/punk world of urban misfits and firmly planting it in the 21st century. In their own words: “The basics of Son Rompe Pera have been developing since we were kids, and the music and streets are in our blood. We found the markets flooded with old, forgotten folk music, and so as kids we decided to carry the marimba with us and create this musical project from our own roots, mixing in rhythms which we thought would never be musical brothers, like cumbia, punk, and the sounds of our barrios and our everyday lives.” 2021 COVID-19 Event Policy: In response to the increasing spread of the COVID-19 Delta variant, all Son Rompe Pera atteendees will be required to show proof of full* COVID-19 vaccination, or proof of a negative test within 72 hours of check-in.

LaPhoenikera.com is a hyperlocal digital zine for those who don’t fit in a mold; who listen to Juan Gabriel, ZZK Records, Rita Indiana, James Blake or La Yegros. Ours is the go-to publication for Phoenikerxs that ride to the West Side in search of the best Sonoran hot dogs, Clamatos, or some crazy club/bar; crave a chill session at some joint on the North Valley. We tailor our content to the crowd who interchangeably parties dwntwn, heads East to Arcadia for breakfast or the South Side for some farm goods or soul food. Our publication is for the promiscuous film-buff; those who regularly check the urban culture’s pulse and become it. For Phoenikerxs that hopscotch through cultural spaces and somehow find ways to nurture the community because of this broad exposure. LaPhoenikera.com represents the counterculture: we fill in the blank space, we are the tilde over the n, the accent over the vowel. We exist for pluricultural Phoenikerxs who explore their city and what’s brewing within it. ------------------ LaPhoenikera.com (leído como La Finikera) es una revista digital hyper-local dirigida a quienes no encajan en un molde; para quienes escuchan Juan Gabriel, el catálogo de ZZK Records, Rita Indiana, James Blake o La Yegros; para Phoenikerxs que se van al West Side en búsqueda del mejor dogo, Clamatos o algún bar/club locochón; o para quienes se les antoja chilautear en algún bareto del North Valley.  Nuestro contenido entalla con la gente que puede “fiestear” en dwntwn, tomar desayuno en el este, visitar las granjas del South Side o embadurnarse con su soul food.
