Bring the family and a picnic for a night of music and film on the hill!Pink HawksColorado’s own Xicanxbeat Orchestra, Pink Hawks span a gamut of Afro-diasporic musical styles in an undeniably #oldDenver way. That being said, it comes as no surprise that they are one of Denver’s longest standing musical acts, hailing from 2007, whose honors include Best of Denver Awards for World Music in 2013 and 2014 as well as the distinguished Mastermind Award in 2019 from Westword Magazine. Using music as their weapon for political disruption, los Pink Hawks will set any dance floor on fire with rhythms of the revolution.(Older/expanded version) Local music scholar Tom Murphy noted, "As much artistic revolutionaries as musicians, Pink Hawks bring the struggle for a more interesting world home to roost." In reference to an early UMS performance, The Denver Post paints an audience perspective: “I jostled through the crowd to find a spot at the front of the room. The effort was worth it - Pink Hawks' set was easily one of the most dynamic and infectious of the night.” Their newest single, “Elote” narrates the struggle between the elotero (working-class) and the battle for the legality one’s humanity on stolen land, through a cumbia/merengue infused sonic-scape. It is a donation-based track with all proceeds benefiting Casa de Paz, a Denver organization that reunites families separated by immigrant detention, one simple act of love at a time.  Bring your dancing shoes as los Pink Hawks set the dance floor on fire. Your body will thank you later.
