Enjambre was established as one of the most important bands of the Latin American continent on Nov. 30 by taking over the Domo de Cobre (the copper dome). It created a deep connection with the 16,000 fans who sold out the Palacio de los Deportes in Mexico City.
Girls Go Ska, a band chosen from more than 320 university bands in a contest organized by Enjambre and their team to support emerging talent, took the stage.

Domo de Cobre was darkened and the public was thrilled to receive Enjambre. They began to hear the first notes of Secuaz, one of the new songs by the band from Zacatecas, which was designated to open one of the most important shows of their career.
