Join futuristic fusion band Interminable for music, a great meal, and conversation.

Alma del Mar

Great performances. Great food. Great conversation. And you.Dive into the evolving soul of the 9th Street Market as INTERMINABLE — a Philly-based futuristic bilingual band— invites you to join them for dinner with their friends at Alma del Mar (the magical little restaurant featured on Queer Eye Season 5 on Netflix).Through original music in Spanish and English, Interminable explores connections as diasporic peoples, weaving together the common threads of improvisation and swing from Mexican traditional son jarocho music, jazz, rock, funk, and electronic music.A note from vocalist and guitar/jarana player Ximena Violante:“The evening will be an opportunity for us to learn from each other, both as a band and with audience members, because even as a band there&#x27;s so much we&#x27;ve never had space to discuss. Through music, we&#x27;ve found those points of connection, but sitting down and having folks ask us whatever they want will be something new for the band, and what better way to do it than with a meal.”“Me and Marcos (owner of Alma del Mar) met in 2014 when I taught a guitar class at a now-defunct arts and culture nonprofit in South Philly called Casa Monarca, as part of a class I was taking in college. He was one of the guitar students and came in with such joy and motivation to these classes. From then on, we&#x27;d always say hello when I passed his fishery on 9th Street and say hi to him and his family. It&#x27;s been beautiful seeing the success they&#x27;ve had with Alma del Mar and seeing them shine on Queer Eye. Doing concerts there, stopping by to eat and say hi, or seeing them come out to one of our events around Philly, it&#x27;s been a really beautiful friendship and I&#x27;m excited to host this at a place where the food and space are set up with so much care and love for the community.” About the ArtistsInterminable is a Philly-based futuristic fusion project that explores our connections as diasporic peoples through original music in Spanish and English, weaving together the common threads of improvisation and swing from Mexican traditional son jarocho music, jazz, rock, funk, and electronic music.This innovative tapestry of sounds is expressed through the band’s unique combination of instruments. Ximena Violante (Vivir Quintana, Renee Goust) sings and plays the electric guitar and jarana, a guitar-like instrument from the afroindigenous son jarocho tradition of Mexico. Marty Gottlieb-Hollis (Martronimous) on trumpet and St. Clair Simmons on trombone join forces as a horn section. Matt Jernigan on drums and Yeho Bostick (Circadian Rhythms, Darlingtyn) on bass solidify the rhythmic backbeat. Born out of a chance encounter on the train in 2015 which led to their debut a week later, opening for nationally-renowned cumbia group, Viento Callejero, the band has amassed an impressive portfolio, sharing stages with nationally- and internationally-recognized acts including La Santa Cecilia, Radio Jarocho, Mare Advertencia Lirika, DJ Precolumbian, Jarana Beat, Lady Moon &amp; The Eclipse, and Moor Mother. Their debut album, rebirth::renacer, was released in November of 2018, bringing together musicians from across the US and Mexico. You can listen or download at their bandcamp or Spotify, or check out the video for Preludio + El Agua, featuring an original rap by Oaxacan rapper Mare Advertencia Lirika.Lead support for The Table Sessions is provided by the William Penn Foundation.
