THE ANIMEROS
with guests
10.11 Sunday (Latin / Psychedelic) Hidden Hall & The PBJ Present: THE ANIMEROS with guests 7pm doors 21+ Hidden Hall 400 N 35th St hiddenhall.com With musical notes that span well beyond genres like bolero, psychedelic, and cumbia, The Animeros not only make their audience hit the dance floor, but they also invite their listeners and tastemakers alike to a glimpse of their rich cultural upbringing. The group who is made up of Nick Tozzo (drummer and percussionist), Nicolas Sanchez (bassist), and Mauro Lopez (guitarist) craft a genreblending sound that drifts between the lush jungles of Colombia, the palmlined streets of 1960s coastal Mexico, and the dusty cantinas of West Texas. Sanchez’s Colombian roots, growing up listening to his parents ’beloved salsa and cumbia; Lopez’s parents ’Mexican and American discography, which spanned from traditional Tejano to improvised jazz; and Tozzo’s love for jazz and salsa music, the latter stemming from his college years, leading him to study and live in Colombia to experience music greats firsthandedly. All of this, paired with their undeniable chemistry and meshed with their now hometown Austin’s innovative creative sounds has led them to create the unique sonic movement that is The Animeros, a name inspired by Colombian shamans who would usher lost souls to their peace.
