Contemporary Latin Rock. For fans of Lou Reed, Mavericks, El Boludo del Rock, Los Lobos, Mariachi Ghost

This just in: The Mariachi Ghost and The Dust Rhinos are joining the bill! The bands will play 1 set each, for a total of 3 sets.

Making Movies is the Latin Grammy–nominated group led by Enrique Chi — born in Santiago, Panamá, and raised in the American Midwest — forging a sound guided by tradition, yet unmistakably its own.

The band has been described by Rolling Stone as “an eclectic blend of rumbero percussion, delicate organs, and grungy fuzz,” while NPR calls the project “perhaps one of the most unique groups around today.”

Their sound is anchored in the rich rhythmic traditions of Panamá and delivered with the force of a psychedelic rock show. Chi weaves the mejorana, a traditional hand-made instrument rarely heard outside of Panamá, into each performance.

Making Movies’ is collaborative across genres, working with artists from Rubén Blades to Kevin Morby, and David Hidalgo (Los Lobos) to Hurray for the Riff Raff. Most notably, Steve Berlin (Los Lobos) has served as a guiding force for the band — functioning as a spiritual band member, producer, and mentor.

New album Una Vida out Fall 2026.

The Mariachi Ghost, from Winnipeg, Canada, summon the ghosts of old Mexico through traditional Mexican song, haunting synths and explosive guitar lines, alongside rich harmonies, commanding lead vocals and spectral dance. Their show leaps from anguish and longing to a raging fury in a heartbeat.

The Dust Rhinos stand as a spirited testament to the infectious allure of Celtic and folk rock. Hailing from the musical heartland of Winnipeg, Manitoba, this quintet has been carving its sonic path for an impressive three decades.
