Story and Photos by Daniel Lopez<\/p>\n

Alternative Latin Night, held March 8 at Auditorium Shores, provided free entertainment during South by Southwest. The concert hosted by NPR Music, was one of several free events held for the public.<\/p>\n

The musical lineup included Italian rapper Jovanotti and an ensemble of Uruguayan and Argentine musicians called Bajofondo, who play modernized versions of milonga and tango. Subversive M\u00e9xico-City-band Molotov and closing act Caf\u00e9 Tacvba, rounded out the evening.<\/p>\n

The classic Latin aromas of tacos, fajitas, crepes and even Chinese food permeated the park while beer, margarita and souvenir vendors added to the festive ambiance.<\/p>\n

The family friendly event went smoothly. The only nuisance was the long setup time between each band.<\/p>\n
