About
Jenny and the Mexicats, a multicultural band known for their unique blend of flamenco, jazz, folk, and cumbia, recently delivered a mesmerizing performance at a Tiny Desk concert. Led by English trumpeter and singer Jenny Ball, the band showcased their infectious energy and eclectic sound through songs like "Frenético Ritmo" and "The Song for the UV Mouse House." With Ball's captivating vocals and stage presence, each song came alive as a vivid short story, such as in "Verde Más Allá," depicting a young woman finding solace in a beer before facing life's challenges.
Originally known as Pachucos y la Princesa, Jenny and the Mexicats formed in 2012 and established Mexicat Records, releasing their debut album under their own label. The group's lineup includes Spanish percussionist David González Bernardos, Mexican guitarist Pantera (Alfonso Acosta), and bassist Icho (Luis Díaz). Their independent spirit and fusion of various musical styles have garnered them a loyal following, making them an act not to be missed.
