On Friday, December 8th, KXCI will celebrate its 40th Birthday at the historic El Casino Ballroom with Orkesta Mendoza featuring Gaby Moreno presented by Buffalo Exchange. Orkesta Mendoza is a Latin big band from Tucson, Arizona, founded by singer and guitarist Sergio Mendoza in 2009. Using Latin percussion, accordion, brass, and steel guitars, the band's style, dubbed "indie mambo," combines ranchera, cumbia, psychedelic and indie rock.

Gaby Moreno is a Guatemalan-born singer-songwriter, producer, film composer, and guitarist. Moreno performs many genres, including Latin, alternative, blues, folk, and Americana, in both Spanish and English. Recently, she received a Latin Grammy for Best Traditional Tropical Album for her artistic production of Omara Portoundo's album "Vida."

Doors open at 6:00 pm, and music starts at 7:00 pm. Tickets for the performance will sell out. Advance general admission tickets are $40 for KXCI Members and $45 in advance for the general public. Tickets can be purchased online, in person at all Bookmans locations, and at the door. All tickets will be $50 at the door. Food will be available for purchase.

Online ticket purchase link: https://kxci.org/shop/kxci-40th-anniversary-celebration-orkesta-mendoza-gabi-moreno-mariachi-aztlan/

All proceeds support KXCI’s mission to connect the communities of Tucson and Southern Arizona to each other and to the world with informative, engaging, and creative community-based programming.

KXCI's 40th Anniversary Celebration is in collaboration with Entertainment Sponsor KAPPCON.

Critical theorists like Theodor Adorno may have overreached in claiming that all mass culture is mediocre, mechanized propaganda made to justify the status quo. But that doesn’t mean they were entirely wrong.

Open-crack fracture in the Kaibab Formation about 5 miles southwest of Leupp in northern Arizona. According to Billingsley & others (2014), this fracture is ~15 ft wide. The depth is unknown but some fissures descend to more than 500 ft. Photo by George Billingsley (USGS). The origin of the open-crack fractures is uncertain, but the proximity of normal faults and suspected flexure and dissolution in the older Supai Formation may contribute to fracture development (Neal, 1994, Supai Salt Karst Features: Holbrook Basin, Arizona.)
