JENNY AND THE MEXICATS Live at Deep Ellum Art Co. Sat. Nov. 12th - Doors open at 8pm
Jenny and the Mexicats it's a fusion of nationalities and personalities, a band that has a very particular history. The band had its beginnings in Madrid as Pachucos y la princesa, in June 2008. It all started when Icho (double bass) invited Jenny to live in Madrid. Jenny in her 20s had come to the right place. Icho called the best guitarist he knew, Pantera a guitarist with very versatile flamenco technique, they had played together for many years in a rockabilly and punk band in their hometown in Mexico.
Pantera proposed a colleague that he played with in the world of flamenco and he played the cajon. David, an extraordinary Spanish cajon player. And that's how they all got together.
That's how a little adventure of an English girl started and gives rise to Jenny and the Mexicats.
