Este Vato pop quiz 2.0 – Austin Vida Artist

Posted on December 17, 2009 under , , , , , , , , , , , ,

As a mini-countdown to the Austin Vida Showcase THIS SATURDAY popolio is featuring all 4 Austin Vida Artists in  pop quizzes this week.

Maneja Beto [Alec Padron] pop quiz 2.0
El Tule pop quiz 2.0 
DJ Chorizo Funk pop quiz 2.0

***
Third up is local up-and-coming Latin fusion band, Este Vato.  I’d previously heard of Maneja Beto and El Tule, but not these guys.  No worries, though.  ‘Estos Vatos’ are already making a name for themselves and I have no doubt that their reputations will precede them sooner rather than later.  Este Vato plays before El Tule and Maneja Beto.
