Las Cafeteras are a dynamic and engaging East Los Angeles band renowned for their unique blend of music that fuses traditional Son Jarocho sounds from Veracruz, Mexico, with modern influences from Afro-Mexican music, hip hop, folk, and Native American sounds. Formed in the early 2000s, the band's members met through the Eastside Café, a community space in El Sereno, Los Angeles, which offered Son Jarocho classes. Their music is a vibrant, storytelling journey that reflects their experiences growing up in East LA, advocating for social justice, love, and peace through their lyrics and performances.

Over the years, Las Cafeteras have made a significant mark on the music scene with their energetic live performances and thought-provoking lyrics. They have a discography that includes both lively and heartfelt songs such as "A Night In Nepantla," "Cumbia de Mi Barrio," and "Hasta la Muerte," showcasing their ability to transition seamlessly between danceable tunes and more introspective tracks. Their recent releases, including "Oaxaca Love Song 2" and the heartfelt live session "Las Cafeteras - Jam in the Van (Live Session, Los Angeles, CA 2022)," demonstrate their ongoing evolution as musicians and storytellers, continuing to captivate audiences around the world with their spirited and transformative music.
