Firme and Orixa

Went to a see Firmé last night at Blake’s; they were opening for a band I hadn’t heard of called Orixa. Firmé plays a variety of latin jazz/rock, sort of ska-influenced.

Firmé was down a trumpet player and a sax, but they still had a good show. They were followed by some ass rap-metal band whose name I can’t even remember, and then by Orixa, who was really polished. Their vocalist really worked the crowd and the place was hoppin’ even at 1 am. Looking at Orixa’s web site, it looks like they recently played with Cafe Tacuba, which is a pretty well-known band (I saw them open for Beck once), so Orixa is well on their way.
