On Saturday, May 16, Austin's Pachanga Music Festival pulled off yet another successful run by bringing to the stage some top-notch Latino acts from Seville, Spain, Monterrey, Mexico, Chile, Los Angeles and Austin, Texas where the musical and cultural festival takes over Fiesta Gardens alongside Lady Bird Lake.
It's that time of year again and Austin, Texas, is not only bringing the heat and good eats, but it's brining the live, Latin tunes with its 8th Annual Pachanga Latino Music Festival on May 16 at Fiesta Gardens.
Grammy-winning, L.A.-based Mexican-American band, La Santa Cecilia has become one of our favorites here at Latin Post, so when we got word of the band coming to the Big Apple to rock the Highline Ballroom during Hispanic Heritage Month, we just had to pay the band a visit.

When you're a light-skinned, blue-eyed, androgynous female emcee from Monterrey, Mexico, named Niña Dioz (meaning "God Child"), some might think it would be tough to gain street cred or hold your own in male-dominated genres, like rap and hip-hop. However, Niña Dioz has proven that assumption wrong, bringing Latina 'female power' to the industry and gaining a huge following both in Mexico and the U.S.
