Cilantro Boombox has little regard for the rising temperature of Austin summers. The band is instead using fire to fight fire with their newest single “Little Sign.”

The fusion of Latin American, Pan-African and electronic jazz are just the beginnings of the sonic cocktail that is Cilantro Boombox’s sound. Energetic drum lines and a harmony of horns demand body movement. Sweltering heat and body sweat are embraced fully in “Fuego” and the sultry “Lovey-dovey” track, “Y-O-U.”

Funk was rejuvenated in Austin when Cilantro Boombox came to fruition in 2012. Now over ten years later the band has new tunes and the same positive energy as before. Cilantro Boombox is continuing to heat up, giving fans a sign of life and indication of a groovier tomorrow.
