Dengue Fever, Chicha Libre, Bio Ritmo, Lauren Kendall, & MORE!

Join your friends, neighbors, co-workers, and over-all community for Richmond's WORLD MUSIC FEST set to take place April 19th at Plaza Bowl (southside) for a night of beautiful world music, as featured on WRIR.

Bio Ritmo - Starting with 70s style Nuyorican salsa, Bio Ritmo mixes it up with lots of different influences and effects while maintaining the integrity of salsas essence and rhythms. The result is exciting, fresh and danceable. If you think salsa is getting stale, you've got to hear Bio Ritmo! http://www.myspace.com/bioritmo

Dengue Fever - Nimol's vocals are as beguiling as ever, Ethan Holtzman's Farfisa organ still swirls, Zac Holtzman's guitars still chime and chunk, and Paul Dreux Smith's drums clang happily along. Transcends the sometimes dubious genre of world music in every sense. http://www.myspace.com/denguefevermusic

Chicha Libre - The group stay true to the adventurous spirit of chicha by throwing in several wild cards of their own, although not all of these play so well. Their music has a certain kitsch and loungey appeal. http://www.myspace.com/chichalibre
