An event brought to you by the Institute of Texan Cultures, highlighting the sounds of a marginalized people in south Texas. The event featured live vocal performances from Mexican Stepgrandfather and Vocab, a live DJ set by JJ Lopez, and the sounds of Bombasta had everyone getting out of their museum seats to dance about it. People of all ages attended and plans are in the works for a future installment of Sounds on the Margins...
