Downtown Midland welcomes Cabildo to The Commons Live Music Series on September 6, 2024 from 7-9 p.m.Performances will be set up on the Pedestrian Plaza Stage in the intersection of McDonald St. & Main St. Bring a chair (or snag one of our outdoor tables), grab a drink & food from your favorite downtown restaurant, and enjoy the music!
Cabildo is a West Michigan based Latin music collective that delivers a unique blend of Latin, Folk, Cumbia, Ska, and other genres. The “Rock en Español” movement inspires many of their selections, consisting of original music and covers from several popular Latin American bands.
Cabildo literally means “Town Hall” in Spanish. Historically, cabildos were located throughout Latin America and the Caribbean and doubled as locations where African slaves were permitted to play traditional music. Chants and drum parts were passed on from generation to generation during Spanish colonization and continued to live on through modern music.
Affectionately dubbed by Founders Brewing Company as “the world’s greatest Latin folk rock dance collective”, Cabildo has performed at various festivals and venues throughout West Michigan including ArtPrize, Tulipanes Festival, Hispanic Festival, Fiesta Mexicana, Eastown Street Fair, Muskegon Summer Celebration, Wealthy Theater, Urban Institute of Contemporary Arts UICA, Muskegon Art Museum, St. Cecilia Music Society, WYCE, EightWest and Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park and many more venues.
This year’s Commons Live Music Series is brought to you by the Downtown Development Authority and presented by Dow Credit Union. Thank you, also, to our supporting sponsor Labadie Toyota and our community sponsors Mercantile Bank, ONe eighteen, Tri-Star Trust, and Three Rivers Corporation!
