Social Tsunami presents Tijuana Tumbleweed

Mexican musical mayhem featuring from Phoenix Arizona , an electronic musician originally from Mexico coming out of the Nortec stable. ‘Lxuk’ hails from the border of Texas and Mexico and is musically influenced by Cumbia, Tejano, and Norteno sounds. Musically trained by Bostich EL Padrino de Nortec, (The Godfather of Nortec Collective), Lxuk has been performing his post-Latin fusion creations around the world… Japan, Romania, USA, Mexico and now oz.

His current creative projects include an LP to be released by Bostich (Nortec), and a documentary film about Chicano Lowrider culture in Japan, scheduled to be released soon.

Playin alongside is Uber Lingua mover and shaker bP, promising to play a barrage of Mextronica, and Lava room regulars Vapor (Chile) and Mashy P, who are also central to the Uber Lingua movement.

Mexican culture has been a central part of Uber Lingua’s makeup. In 2005 & 2006 Uber Lingua hosted the ‘Nortec Collective’ at events in Sydney (Candy’s) and Melbourne (St Jeromes RIP). These collaborations led to a strong bond that continues to this day between the east coast of Australia and Tijuana.

This connection led to the 2007 Mexican tour of Uber Lingua DJs bP, Mashy P, Saka la Mois and DJ Sheerien (now based in the UK ). As invited guests of the ‘Melbourne en Tijuana’ festival they performed at three events in the border city alongside the Makila Collective and members of Nortec, making multiple media appearances.

From there, they also went on a DJ adventure performing at events in Guadalajara (with another UL compadre DJ Alejandro Davilla), Mexico City (with Mex MC Boca Floja), San Cristobal Chiapas & Xalapa Veracruz.

The 5-city Hola Mexico Film Festival ‘Opening night fiestas’ presented by Uber Lingua in 2008 were another extension of the tangent.

Also on the bill is Lisa Marmur, she is a singer/songwriter, originally from Melbourne, Australia. She has spent ten years in the desert of Phoenix, Arizona where she learned most of what she knows today from some very special and talented people, having worked in various bands, including electro-pop outfit ‘Runaway Diamonds’.

Check out this Mexican musical fiesta in a deep Pacific tiki territory!

Lava rooms is truly a sight to behold, a totally transformed space featuring the most amazing collection of Pacific art including massive Easter island heads, a variety of bamboo structures, cane furniture, Polynesian carvings and paintings collected avidly over the years by Sydney artist Brian Paisley.
