Join us for a celebration of Mexican cultural heritage with a vibrant fusion of music, dance, theater, educational activities, and a live luchador wrestling match on Milner Plaza on Museum Hill! This FREE event will highlight some of the rich regional cultural traditions reflected in the Museum of International Folk Art's current exhibition La Cartonería Mexicana / The Mexican Art of Paper and Paste, and honor the history and living traditions of Indigenous communities of Mexico and our region. This event is being produced in collaboration with the Museum of International Folk Art and Museum of Indian Arts and Culture and supported by the Friends of Folk Art (FOFA).

"Invigorating," "brilliant," and "charismatic" are just a few of the adjectives used to describe Tropa Magica. "The East L.A. duo made a name for themselves by combining alternative, grunge, and psychedelic rock with cumbia" (Spin magazine).
Having toured nationally and on multiple southwest and west coast tours, they have supported established acts such as Los Lobos, Los Tigres del Norte, and Chicano Batman. The band has boldly and successfully taken on larger LA stages at venues as well.
