BELLOWS FALLS-The Bandwagon Summer Series, presented by Next Stage Arts, is coming to Bellows Falls at the Robertson Paper Mill lot on 21 Island St. for an outdoor concert with La Sonora Mazurén on Sunday, Sept. 15, at 5 p.m.
La Sonora Mazurén is a seven-piece band from Colombia. "They are the latest of the rich indie-tropical scene out of Bogotá," say organizers. Deeply rooted in the popular sounds and rhythms of South America, the group draws from cumbia, chicha, guaracha, champeta, and other styles mostly from Ecuador, Colombia, and Peru.
The band combines synthesizers and electric guitars with accordion and percussion to create "a futuristic style indebted to early pioneers such as Polibio Mayorga or Bogota's own Eblis Álvarez, of Meridian Brothers fame, producers of their debut album," organizers say. "The result is a psychedelic feast reminiscent of Tropicalia."
Tickets are $20 in advance, $25 at the door. Kids under 12 are admitted free. Food will be provided by Smokin' Bowls, and alcohol will be served. Visitors are encouraged to bring a picnic and a blanket. Parking is available at the Hetty Green, Bridge Street, and Waypoint Center lots.
