On Nov. 1st Chicano Rocker Joshua Josue headlines his annual Day of the Dead celebration at Showdown Saloon.$20 Advance / $25 Door
The evening kicks off with special guests Los Vencejos, featuring Portland legend Freddy Trujillo, and Johnny Franco & His Real Brother Dom.
Join us for this cultural celebration and a night remembering our friends and loved ones who have moved on to the Spirit World in a night of music and fun. There will be space on the Altar to place pictures and ofrendas for your loved ones who have passed.
Dia de Los Muertos face paint is highly encouraged.
From Joshua:
This event not only gives me a chance to pay homage to my Latino culture and Mexican roots, but it also
gives all of us a special chance to pay homage and celebrate through music all of the friends, pets and loved ones that have left this earthly plane and have moved on to the great unknown.
I feel honored that I get to share this night on stage with my fellow Portland musicians that also have family roots south of the border, Freddy Trujillo, Johnny Franco, Ben Rice and Vince
Ádame.
I come from a long line of musicians hailing from Mexico and Southern California and I will
be paying special tribute to my grandfather’s band, “Jesse León and his Tropicana Orchestra”
which was one of the premier Latin groups in Southern California in the 1940’s. Not only will I
be playing songs off of my upcoming album, but I will also be preforming songs that my
Grandfather and Tio’s played in their band.
