LIve Music:

Madame Ur y sus Hombres is one of the most creative groups on the Tijuana music scene. Their mix of cabaret, art rock, theatrical rock and jazz creates a very particular sound that is outstanding among alternative groups.

The group do performances with entities such as the Baja California Orchestra at big scale concerts, as well as playing their own music at a small hidden cabaret in the city. Madame Ur is an alter ego with a strong bestial femenine presence that dances in silence al the rhythm of her men. Performances go from laughter to tears and vice versa, as a smooth knife filled with kisses. Madame Ur y sus Hombres have performed in Baja California, California, Chicago, Houston, DF, Oaxaca, Medellin, among other places.
