Congress Ave. ATX 78704 🎧guest DJ @joaquinmuerte 6-9PMall the way from San Antonio, Tejas 😎Joaquin, a musician, songwriter, and activist living in San Antonio, shared stories of his childhood growing up poor in the barrio of San Felipe in Del Rio, where his parents instilled in him a deep love for music and activism. With a sound that blends neo-Chicano soul reminiscent of Stevie Wonder and Sunny Ozuna, Joaquin’s music captures nostalgia, love, and a deep connection to his roots. Joaquin emphasized the importance of being a “renaissance creator,” advocating for artistic versatility and the interconnectedness of all crafts. His passion for the barrio and cultura is palpable, as is his belief in the power of community collaboration.🔈✨ ESTOY MUY EXCITED for this one! Tell ALL TUS AMIGXS! Nos Vemos 🔈✨ by @beatsofburden

𝗥𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗼 𝗗𝗮𝘇𝗲: 𝗕𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗱𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗢𝗮𝘀𝗶𝘀 returns for Ep. 2: ¡Refrito!Refrito, “refried” in Spanish, is Mexico’s take on American popular rock ’n’ roll from the 1950s; often covering recognizable tunes en español.Artists like Los Teen Tops, Los Locos del Ritmo, Los Rebeldes del Rock, Los Hooligans, and Enrique Guzmán helped shape the “refrito” sound; reframing rock ’n’ roll classics en español for a fun, carefree vibra.Think Beach Blanket Bingo energy: playful, nostalgic, and a reminder to have fun. A tribute to dads everywhere — the ones who love their Hawaiian shirts, bad jokes, and records.This session is led by Vanessa Burden / Beats of Burden @beatsofburden — DJ, dancer, musician, writer, and member of Latin psicodélica family band Los Alcos. With roots in radio and a deep love for Latin, world, cumbia, chicha, afrobeat, and funk sounds, Vanessa brings context, humor, and movement to the garden.Sunday, June 21 6 - 9 pm The Garden Free to attendJoin us for ¡Refrito! by @beatsofburden
