Los is More

A band from rural Mexico, Los Cojolites formed some 20 years ago with one mission: To recover the music and art of the indigenous people of Vera Cruz, Mexico. The band's music has a close resemblance to Flamenco as the the acoustic guitar work in a song such as "Sembrando Flores" follows the same cadence as most flamenco. Two of the group's four albums have been nominated for Grammies. The group performs tonight at 7:30 at Ohio City Stages, the outdoor pop-up venue set up outside the Transformer Station. Vendors will be on hand to sell food and drinks. Admission is free. (Niesel)
