"This show is organized by David "Papi" Fimbres (of local bands Orquestra Pacífico Tropical, Boink, Friskies, et al.), who will headline as part of his duo Dreckig with his wife Shana "Azúcar" Lindbeck, who make a trippy, groovy blend of Latin dance music informed by cumbia, electronic, and krautrock-infused music with lyrics sung in Spanish, German, and English. Notably, this huge New Year's Eve bash will also see a live performance from Portland-based neo-soul R&B mainstay Blossom,"
"Blossom reigns not just as a locked in local musician, but also as a well-rounded community member and leader in Portland's arts and music scenes. Let's hope we hear early Blossom highlights like breezy single "So Cool," her '90s boom-bap-driven R&B-pop single "Loves Coming," or her infectious reggae track "Black Magic Woman.""
"Performing as a soloist the last couple years, Reyna Tropical continues to be known for its distinct mezcla of organic and electronic sounds with tropical rhythms-all driven by the motto of "Queer Love & Afro-Mexico.""
