Local ‘mythical’ group to play intimate venue

El Personal, a Guadalajara reggae band that is described as “very melodic” and that boasts name recognition dating back to the 1970s, is slated to perform Friday and Saturday, May 3 and 4, at the small but well established El Rojo Cafe in Guadalajara’s Colonia Americana.

Although El Personal is not well known among Guadalajara’s younger set, the group has appeared recently to crowds as large as 70,000 (at the music festival Vive Latino).
