Groovin' at Puerto Vallarta's Old Town Farmers' Market

July 18, 2013

Grab a dancing partner and join us this Saturday at the Old Town Farmers' Market for a rockin' good time. The entertainment stage is on Basilio Badillo, across from Nacho Daddy, on PV's South side.

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - Every Saturday, talented musicians from all over North America entertain Market shoppers with toe tappin' pop, rock, blues and international rhythms. We applaud their talents and thank them for keeping us movin' and groovin' all season long.

Chris Kenny
Chris Kenny, singer/songwriter, delivers a diva-like musical experience with a broad range of cover material and original hits. Her powerful, heartfelt vocal style is truthful and captivating, influenced by the great ladies of jazz and blues. As a worldwide performer, Kenny has shared the stage with leading recording artists including Jeff Healey, Fathead, Jack de Keyzer, Chuck Jackson and members of the Downchild Blues Band.


Kim Kuzma
Kim Kuzma lends her powerful vocals to pop, dance, jazz, holiday, anthem and adult contemporary selections. As Canada's Best Independent Artist (2001), she continues to create new ballads and albums while collaborating with other artists to create remixed pop songs and original dance music. Kuzma brings her charismatic stage presence and upbeat rhythms not only to Puerto Vallarta, but also to stages throughout North and South America and in Europe.

Los Unos Band
When the Vega brothers take the stage, it's a lively day at the Old Town Farmer's Market. Victor is Los Unos Band's front man and plays electric guitar; Mauricio masterfully plays the flute and bass guitar; and Sergio shows off his skills with the flute and acoustic guitar. Together, they delight crowds with favorites from various rock, Latin American and Flamenco play lists. To hire Los Unos Band, call 322-108-3630 or email panteskiu@gmail.com.

Alberto Mejia
Alberto Mejia is one of Vallarta's leading mariachi and orchestra vocalists. A natural Don Juan of musical romance, Mejia specializes in Mexican Folk music, both the treasured classics and the latest hits. His magnetic stage presence draws in the audience for a shared musical experience. To hire Mejia, call 322-200-8783 or email albertomeji@hotmail.com.

Don and Rhonda
Don and Rhonda have been harmonizing in Puerto Vallarta for over twenty years. Don Pope enjoyed an extensive career performing classical Indian ragas in England and Canada. As members of the fusion group, "The Third Eye," he and Rhonda Padmos, a classically trained pianist and jazz vocalist, toured India. Their performing adventure led them to Vallarta as entertainers on the Love Boat. Today, they are often found performing in local venues as a duo or with their band, Katmandu.

Sylvie and Jorge
Most Saturdays, you can find Sylvie Scopazzo selling her Organ-Ick dog and cat treats at the Market. However, on days when she is scheduled to perform, Scopazzo transforms into a sultry songstress. Joined by guitarist Jorge Hernandez, this duo will lose you in their hypnotic rendition of popular smooth jazz cover titles from the 60's. To hire Sylvie and Jorge, email sylviescopazzo(at)gmail.com.

Bobby Tansen and Chango Marango

This Scottish born entertainer lends his soulful approach to original compositions as well as unplugged pop, rock, 60's, 70's and covers from greats like the Beatles and Paul Simon. You can often find Tansen performing solo or teaming up with Chango Marango to entertain music lovers all along the Banderas Bay.
