On Saturday, June 3, the 31st annual Concert of Colors Part I took place in Mexicantown-Southwest Detroit. It was a fantastic day filled with Latino music, headlined by the Chicano band Las Cafeteras.

The concert began with DJ CISCO mixing music to set the Latino vibe for the day.

Then, the Ballet Folklorico Raíces Mexicanas presented traditional Mexican dances, followed by the Chromatic Violins, a group of students from the Cesar Chavez Upper Elementary School who played a remarkable musical repertoire.

Moreover, the traditional Bomba and music from RicanStruction led by Ozzie Rivera showcased Puerto Rican music and folklore.

“I enjoy the Concert of Colors-MexicantownCDC coming back to Southwest Detroit because it brings the community together to enjoy the incredible culture of Southwest and highlights local SW artists and vendors. I also enjoy having Las Cafeteras being here to perform and letting them experience our music and culture in this part of the country,” said Alexis Escoto, Southwest Detroit resident.

Local and renowned singers Gabriel Duran and Camilla Cantu offered a vibrant eclectic performance and invited attendees to dance with them. Las Cafeteras closed the show with an amazing performance.

After more than a decade the Concert of Colors made it back in the community, however Detroit’s Latino community has been involved with the Concert of Colors from its very beginning.

This edition of the Concert of Colors was made possible by the collaborative efforts between the Annual Concert of Colors and Mexicantown CDC and the contributions of Gloria Rocha and Ozzie Rivera, and the sponsorship of AETNA-CVS Health.

El Concierto Anual de Colores visita Southwest Detroit

El sábado 3 de junio fue un día increíble y caluroso, lleno de música latina, en la primera parte del 31.º Concierto anual de Colores con el grupo chicano, Las Cafeteras como acto principal del espectáculo en Mexicantown-Sudoeste de Detroit.

El concierto abrió con música mezclada por el DJ CISCO, estableciendo así el ambiente Latino para el resto del día. Acto seguido, el folklor mexicano vistió el área con la presentación del Ballet Folklórico Raíces Mexicanas, para después dar espacio a los Violines Cromáticos, formados por estudiantes de la escuela Cesar Chavez Upper Elementary, quienes deleitaron con un repertorio musical muy especial. No podía faltar el tono y folklor puertorriqueño con el despliegue de la tradicional Bomba y la música del grupo Ricanstruction del director Ozzie Rivera.

“Disfruté que el Concierto de Colores-MexicantownCDC regresara al suroeste de Detroit porque reúne a la comunidad para disfrutar de la grandiosa cultura del suroeste de Detroit y destaca a los artistas y vendedores locales.

También disfruté que Las Cafeteras se presentaran y que pudieran experimentar nuestra música y cultura en esta parte del país”; expresó Alexis Escoto, residente del Suroeste de Detroit.

La diversidad musical y cultural cambio de modalidad con las increíbles interpretaciones de los cantantes locales y reconocidos Gabriel Duran y Camilla Cantu, quienes invitaban a los asistentes a bailar con ellos.

Cuando Las Cafeteras llegaron al escenario, no necesitaron gran presentación porque el público en su mayoría eran fans del grupo, por lo que la gente no paró de cantar y bailar hasta el final del concierto.

Después de más de una década, el Concierto de Colores regresó a la comunidad, sin embargo, la comunidad latina de Detroit ha estado involucrada con el Concierto de Colores desde sus inicios.

Esta edición del Concierto de Colores con MexicantownCDC fue posible por la colaboración de ambas organizaciones, más el apoyo de Gloria Rocha, Ozzie Rivera y el patrocinio de AETNA-CVS Health.
