Los Alcos at Flamingo Cantina
This performance is part of the showcase that starts on Friday, March 14 at Flamingo Cantina
Los Alcos are a Latin Psychedelic Fusion band, formed by Father-Son duo David & Alex Alcocer. Los Alcos blends Latin-Rock into hypnotic Psychedelia , with sounds and vibes like Santana, Los Mirlos, The Mars Volta, Selena, and Tame Impala. The intention of Los Alcos music is to elevate our vibrations with dance and connection, sharing our best energy through our sonic abilities. Vanessa Burden sings songs of protest, self-empowerment, and justice, while Alex Alcocer serenades us with stories of spirits speaking. David "Papa Alco" Alcocer shreds guitar like he won San Antonio Current guitarist of the year back in '92. Papa Also continues leading each guitarist in Los Alcos like the wise sensei he is. Alex Alcocer leads the group, performing an inventive set up while captaining the song through the waves of the night. With a deep roster of best friends and family, each performance by La Familia Banda is unique and intense, full of concentration, improvisation, and passion.
