Paquita La Del Barrio at the Kauffman Center

Description

Campy and popular Mexican megastar entertainer Paquita la del Barrio is making her debut performance at the Kauffman Center this summer. Her music, a staple in cantinas and clubs throughout Mexico, often takes a feminist stance, and has earned her a huge female following. Men are more than welcome to attend, but get ready to be on the receiving end of some good-natured ribbing. The renowned singer has gained prestige due her signature phrase, with which she often teases male spectators in her shows, "¿Me estás oyendo, inútil?" ("Are you listening, good-for-nothing?"). She won a “Premio Los Nuestro” and a “Premio de la Gente” and was nominated for a Grammy Award in 2008.'
