LAS CRUCES – It’s time to dance!
An eclectic mix of award-winning music groups comes to Las Cruces on October 10th for a day of Latin music at DH Lescombes Winery & Bistro.
Priscilla Quinones-Chavez, a member of the Latin Function Project and Caribé, said the open-air concert will consist of both local and visitor groups. Music styles from Mexico, Cuba, Brazil and other Latin American countries will be represented. Latin Feature also plays popular classical rock music with a Latin flair.

- Caribbean (parsley)

“There were country music festivals and we saw tejano festivals,” Quinones-Chavez said, but this concert will celebrate the rich musicality of the frontier and beyond.
She said they hope this will be the first annual Latin Music Festival with the event growing in size and reach each year.
