The GRAMMY-winning East L.A. band Quetzal summons a powerful panoply of sounds from its urban palette – rock, R&B, Mexican son jarocho, Japanese taiko, Afro-Cuban batá, and more – to create an ambitious, artful album with a social point of view. The Eternal Getdown, their seventh album, taps Quetzal’s extended family of artists, including Aloe Blacc, to affirm the power of music and people to “get down” together in creative harmony. 77 minutes, 44-page bilingual booklet.

This album is the 46th in the Smithsonian Folkways Tradiciones/Traditions Series of Latino music albums, produced with support from the Smithsonian Latino Center.
