10 p.m. – 2:30 a.m., Mad Planet, 533 E Center Street, Milwaukee

Growing from a trio into a powerful ten-piece over the last five years, De La Buena has been electrifying audiences with their own brand of Afro-Cuban and Latin Jazz. Employing jazz harmonic sensibility and a deep-seated love of diverse cultures, De La Buena explores the textures and rhythms of Latin musics of the Americas with roots planted firmly in African Diasporic traditions…. a sophisticated Latin dance band with a touch of the psychedelic if you will.

Whether you are a listener or a dancer, De La Buena has got something for you.. Ever wondered what would happen if that “old school” salsa sound of the late ’70s came pulsating into the new millennium? Check out De La Buena.

No shortage of reasons to Protest Rahm!

Emanuel’s city budget closes 6 of the City’s 12 Mental Health Clinics, privatizes all 7 of the City’s Neighborhood Health Clinics, and lays off hundreds of dedicated employees.
