Born and raised East of the Los Angeles River, Las Cafeteras are remixing roots music as modern-day troubadours. They are a sonic explosion of Afro-Mexican rhythms, electronic beats, and powerful rhymes that document stories of a community seeking to ‘build a world where many worlds fit.’

World Refugee Day is recognized globally on June 20 each year and shines a light on the rights, needs, and dreams of people who have been forced to flee their homes. Together, we can champion the right to seek safety, build communities of belonging, and advocate for just immigration and refugee resettlement policies rooted in compassion and humanity.
