An Evening of Words in Motion: Music & Poetry Across Colombia & Mexico

An Evening of Words in Motion: Music & Poetry Across Colombia & Mexico comes to Batch Craft Beer + Kolaches on Tuesday, July 28, starting at 6 PM. It's a night that puts music and poetry side by side, with the focus on Colombia and Mexico. The lineup brings together four performers: Ana López Hurtado, César Álvarez, Santiago Villalobos, and Victor Bermúdez.

If you're not familiar with the spot, Batch Craft Beer + Kolaches is a hybrid on Manor Road that pairs Texas-Czech pastries—both savory and sweet—with fillings like PB&J, Micklethwait brisket, and pickle and Swiss, alongside a full beer and coffee selection. It's been a home for live music and performance in Austin for a while now, and it was an Austin Chronicle Critics Pick for Best Place to Carb Load back in 2017. This evening is part of the venue's ongoing live-music and live-performance series, which is open to all ages.

With four names on the bill, the night is built around the voices of Ana López Hurtado, César Álvarez, Santiago Villalobos, and Victor Bermúdez. The music and poetry they bring draw from Colombia and Mexico, and the two formats—song and spoken word—run through the evening rather than one following the other. It's the kind of show where you can settle in with a drink and some food and let the different voices take over.

It all happens Tuesday, July 28, at 6 PM at Batch Craft Beer + Kolaches, 3220 Manor Rd., Austin, TX 78723. The show is open to all ages.
