The Animeros (SXSW)

4.7

Discover The Animeros, Austin's hottest new band blending cumbia, bolero, and psychedelic vibes with Latin flair at Zilker Brewing Co.! This official event promises priority access for badges and wristbands, perfect for dancing to their tropical roots inspired by Colombian jungles, Mexican coasts, and West Texas cantinas.

Hailing from Austin since 2024, these genre-blending maestros—Nick Tozzo on percussion, Nicolas Sanchez on bass, and Mauro Lopez on guitar—have already caught the ear of Grammy-winner Dan Auerbach, who's producing their debut album on Easy Eye Sound. Expect an electrifying live show full of salsa, jazz, and cumbia grooves that get everyone moving!

Grab a craft beer at this East Austin brewery hotspot, sip on Mexican lagers or hazy IPAs, and immerse in the lively atmosphere. It's the ultimate spot for Latin music lovers to vibe, dance, and support local talent in a fun, communal setting.
