• Performed at the 1999, 2003, 2005 & 2007 Spurs championship celebrations
• Toured internationally throughout Saltillo, Guadalajara, and Monterrey, Mexico

When URBAN-15 created Carnaval de San Anto in the fall of 1987, there was nothing like it anywhere in the country. Since then, Carnaval de San Anto has revolutionized community access to music and dance, transformed how San Antonio celebrates, and has become a cultural ambassador of this most vibrant city!
