The band is one of 40 musical acts scheduled to play the 11th Annual Día de los Muertos at Hemisfair — also known as Muertos Fest — scheduled for the weekend of Oct. 28-29 at Hemisfair's newly opened Civic Park.
The musical lineup, unveiled during a Wednesday press conference, also will include Sony recording artist Mariangela, conjunto torchbearer Santiago Jimenez Jr., legendary mariachi group Campanas de America, West Side soul revivalists Eddie and the Valiants, Selena tribute band Bidi Bidi Banda and Monterrey, Mexico's Laura Denisse y Los Brillantes.
As with previous years, Muertos Fest will include daily processions honoring the dead along with more than 80 altars created by San Antonio artists, students and residents to remember departed loved ones. The family-friendly event also will feature art vendors, workshops, poets, dancers and more. Last year's festival drew 135,000 people, and organizers said they expect at least as many to attend this year.
