(AUSTIN, TX) – Austin Vida’s one year anniversary is fast approaching, and like every anniversary, there’s a celebración to go along with it. This will be Austin Vida’s first showcase under new ownership, and they are doing it big! Partnering with local Latin Music production experts, Conexion Rockera, Austin Vida is proud to present Maneja Beto, El Tule, Este Vato and DJ Chorizo Funk at The Beauty Bar.

Maneja Beto (http://www.manejabeto.com/) is a five piece, indie en Español fusion band similar to bands like Latin Alternative legends Café Tacvba and Aterciopelados. Recently the band released their latest digital single, "Ofrendas," and has had their music videos in constant rotation on Austin's ME Television. An Austin Vida staff favorite, Maneja Beto sets the standard for Latin Alternative music in Austin.

El Tule (http://www.myspace.com/eltule) combines influences of Cumbia, Afro-Cuban, Rock, Merengue, Salsa and Reggae. The music is influenced by art, history and culture often focusing on legends and tales of the mystical. El Tule recently released their sophomore album, Volumen II, and have been active for over six years in the Austin music scene. Simply put, El Tule is for those who love to dance, feel good and enjoy the positive expression of music.

The showcase’s opening band will be Este Vato (http://www.estevato.com/).These vatos are serious up and comers on the Austin Music scene, having already been featured in major Latino publications Remezcla, Austin Vida and La Banda Elastica. With their debut album in the works, Este Vato will only continue to keep audiences dancing and nodding their heads well into 2010.

Spinning before the bands will be Austin’s own Latino funk master, DJ Chorizo Funk (http://www.myspace.com/djebelo). The show is scheduled for Saturday, December 19th at 9pm at The Beauty Bar, located at 617 E. 7th Street. The show is 21 and up. Tickets are available for $5 on the day of the show. Attendees will have multiple opportunities to win tickets to the show from Austin Vida.
