THE PARTIES AT 52 MARBLE HILL ARE BACK!
YES!
We are bringing THE PARTIES back this year!!!
The Villalobos BrothersPosted by Joe Caleño Licul on Sunday, July 29, 2012
In the summer of 2011 my brothers and I opened our backyard and started hosting an informal concert series. Little did we know that these small gatherings would soon become monster parties of mythical proportions!
By the end of 2012 an average of 200 guests would make the trip uptown, coming in from An Beal Bocht, Manhattan College, the Shul of New York, Columbia University, the Mariachi Academy and the United Nations. By the end of that summer the Marble Hill Parties had become a weekend destination... your most delicious Mexican escape and most relaxed urban dream, combined into a legendary summer party with all the good music... but none of the drama.
We had great musicians grace our stage: from the classical Indian trio Karavika, to the reggae band Rocky and the Pressers and from Bernardo Palombo to Mariachi Real de Mexico, Jarana Beat and Los Cojolites.
Unfortunately, in 2013 we had to put the parties on hold. Our touring schedule got real busy, real fast, and we were invited to fly down to the Totonaca pyramids in Mexico to perform at Cumbre Tajin, opening for Julieta Venegas and Los Tigres del Norte. Then we won the top prize at WQXR and WNYC’s “Battle of the Boroughs” and had our debut at the Apollo Theater. 2014 was even busier, with tours in the USA, India, Russia and Mexico and our first show at Lincoln Center.
Of course, 2015 will be VERY busy again... and that’s GREAT. But we can’t let the serious concert halls have all the fun and kill THE PARTIES!
In addition to our extended MH family, this year I have extended the invitation to our friends at Eco-Socialist Horizons. Last year we hosted a convergence for the Climate March and the speakers, musicians and activists that they brought were simply phenomenal.
So... there you have it! Whether you are a tried-and-true Marble Hill veteran or a total novice ready to get your first taste of uptown musical freedom, grab your dancing shoes and JOIN US NEXT SATURDAY APRIL 11!!
As usual, if you feel so inclined, bring your own bottle of top-shelf liquor to share with everybody. We’ll have cold beers, sangrias and empanadas to keep you fed and hydrated throughout the night.
