Empanadas Ilegales

Join us for the official launch of LABORATORIO TROPICAL, the long-awaited fourth album from Vancouver's Empanadas Ilegales.

Somewhere between Vancouver and Montreal, between cumbia and the cosmos, between the apocalypse and the dancefloor, there is a laboratory.

Join us for a night of psychedelic tropical music, dancing, and the official launch of LABORATORIO TROPICAL, the long-awaited fourth album from Vancouver's Empanadas Ilegales with special guest A Bit Cold (Montreal) and vinyl slections by Juana Go-Gó (Toronto)

Empanadas Ilegales have spent nearly a decade breaking tropical music down to its bones, recombining it under pressure, and testing what comes out the other side. LABORATORIO TROPICAL, their fourth album, is the report from the lab.
