Over three decades ago, Los Cafres made history as the first to translate roots reggae to Spanish, forever solidifying them as one of the found bands of Latin American reggae. They made their live debut at a pub in the Barrio Norte neighborhood of Buenos Aires in 1987 but soon went on an indefinite hiatus due to the economic and political turmoil that swept through Brazil in the late 1980s, with some members emigrating out of the country.
Representing an intersection of Afro-Latin music, those who want to enjoy a night of reggae through the lens of one of South America’s great live acts should absolutely get tickets to see Los Cafres. This will be their first time at The Ford as well, one of our favorite outdoor venues because of its goldilocks atmosphere: not so big that it loses its intimacy, but large enough to put on big shows that feel like one massive dance party. So if you’ve been craving a night of impeccable music to vibe to with a thousand other reggae lovers then this is probably the one show this season you cannot miss! There’s also the possibility that Los Cafres will dust off a few of the many covers they’ve recorded over the years, from Bob Marley and The Beatles to fellow Argentinians Los Fabulosos Cadillacs.
