THE FILM: Above + an HD digital download of A MEXICAN SOUND. (Kickstarter backers will be the first people to own a copy of A MEXICAN SOUND, but the film may have to premiere at a few film festivals before we are allowed to release the digital download. Just FYI)

LOS EXTRAS: Above + an HD digital download of live performances and interviews that were awesome but just didn’t fit into the final cut of A MEXICAN SOUND.

The event will take place at PULQUERIA, the coolest (Mexican) restaurant/bar in New York City (see photos to the left). What could be better than sipping pulque (an ancient Mexican drink) while you watch A MEXICAN SOUND and listen to Son Huasteco music?!? This screening/party will take place before any public screenings are held, so you’ll be the very first to see the movie! (expenses to NYC not included). You'll also receive rewards from the $10, $15, $20, $30, and $200 levels.
