A group comprised of members from both San Antonio and Austin will bring its mind-bending cumbias tinged with Afrobeat to Austin's Levitation Festival this fall. Self-described as 'Féla Kuti meets psychedelic cumbia,' the band will share the Friday, Nov. 1, lineup with headliner Los Espiritus.
En Orbito 's nine members largely hail from Austin , but bandleader Miguel Pantoja resides in San Antonio .
venue, a major hub of the fest, is aptly named for iconic Austin psych band the 13th Floor Elevators, formed by Roky Erickson in the 1960s. Miguel"Ziggy" Pantoja had nothing but time on their hands after the dissolution of their prior band The Lowdown & Out. One of its members was a cancer survivor, and it was considered too risky to play live shows.
The band's nine members constitute what Pantoja calls an"all-star lineup." Members hail from other Austin groups including Golden Dawn Arkestra, Antibalas, Money Chicha, Superfonicos, Continental Drift and Hard Proof.
