Here's the Asada: Carne Cruda

Latin fusion: it's not just for breakfast anymore. It's for breakfast, lunch and dinner. With that in mind, three forward-thinking Latin music acts appear at Café du Nord this Sunday, in a showcase called "C, the Musical." The reasoning behind the title? All three band's names' begin with the alphabet's third letter: Cuban Cowboys, Carne Cruda, and Cordero.

A brief description of the bands follows: Oakland's Carne Cruda "isn't afraid to mash The Ventures against the Buena Vista Social Club and see what comes out"; Brooklyn's Cordero "is equally at home amongst the New York art rock scene or the vibrant Rock en Espanol movement"; and SF's Cuban Cowboys are "armed with mambo riffs, swooning surf guitar, and a killer live show."

All in all, should be a fun time for anyone into Latin rhythms and/or adventurous indie rock types.
