Xemumba ..SHEH-moom-bah..: a celebration of the many
styles of music that Latin and South America have given us. This event
was founded by Brandon Badillo in September of 2007, for two important
causes: to bring these two styles of music together for an evening of
swaying and dancing, and to raise money for his Grandpa, Francisco, in
his fight against cancer.

With minimal advertising and funding, Xemumba
proved to be a huge success with over 300 attendees on the special
evening. Encouraged by everyone to keep the celebration going, Brandon
turned it into an annual event! 10 performances, ranging from Samba to
AfroCuban and Cumbia to Latin hip-hop, will take you on a well-earned
vacation to Latin and South America – no plane ticket required.

Xemumba will continue to give back as it did for
Francisco just two years ago, by donating a percentage of the proceeds
to nonprofit organizations. This year's beneficiaries are Lupe Arte and
the National Hispanic Institute.

Get a taste of Austin's best Latin America music
performers, and help this special event grow not only in the number of
music-lovers, but in the number of hearts affected.

All day on Saturday, October 24^th at Kenny Dorham's Backyard (10am-12am).
