Tonight Austin-based Latin fusion band El Tule will celebrate the release of their new album, Cuatro, at One-2-One Bar. The supporting lineup includes Austin-based cumbia-fusionists Como Las Movies and up-and-comers Organizacion Kumbiambera. Two Austin radio personalities, Vanessa Burden from KOOP and Michael Crockett of KUTX, will be spinning under the DJ monikers throughout the night as well.

Two years in the making, Cuatro is their fourth independently produced album and first with newly launched Hecho In Austin Records.
