On Friday night, Nectar hosted The Cumbieros and Eldridge Gravy & The Court Supreme, two bands focused on getting their crowds to move. Mainly influenced by Latin music, The Cumbieros also bring in elements of ska and rock to create tunes that keep the dance floor buzzing. The twelve-piece conglomeration of Eldridge Gravy dives deep into funk grooves that just make you want to boogie.
The Cumbieros are a cumbia band formed in Seattle in 2011.
