Part of a Larger Cultural Celebration
The Ozomatli Festival, which has been held annually in November since 2011, is an international street art and circus festival. This year’s edition spans four days and includes a variety of activities across the Historic Center, such as circus arts workshops, graffiti sessions, body painting, and street art performances in locations like the Alameda Central and Plaza Tolsá.
Calaverx, a dark wave and post-punk project formed in 2021 and led by Manuel Synth, recently performed at the Núcleo 01 Festival. The band has gained recognition for its international touring in Europe and its decision to perform in Spanish. The upcoming concert maintains the festival’s tradition of free, public access, requiring no tickets or prior registration for attendees.
The organizers emphasize that the Saturday night showcase is distinct within the festival’s four-day program, which also highlights other urban genres, murgas, and percussion ensembles on different dates.
