About

Join us for Cumbias y Contemporary Art, a dance party at Contemporary Arts Museum Houston (CAMH) celebrating Houston’s Latinx, Texican, and Hispanic Heritage through cumbia, contemporary art, and hands-on creativity. Come early to enjoy complimentary swag, coffee, and conversation!

DJ and live music set by Gio Chamba. Houston-based local community internet radio station, Ice House Radio, will live broadcast the DJ set in partnership with CAMH.

Cafe Con Amigos HTX will be hosting a CUMBIAS Y CAFÉ coffee social club from 1–2PM. Complimentary coffee will be provided by Cariño Coffee.

Airbrush Brothers Inc. will be onsite with a live airbrush experience, creating custom, one-of-a-kind merch for guests (one item per guest, while supplies last). Inspired by Mario Ayala: Seven Vans, the airbrush designs nod to Mario Ayala’s airbrush technique, echoing the exhibition’s exploration of the customization of lowriders and other cars. We recommend arriving early to participate.

This event is free to attend and open to all ages. RSVP is recommended.
