Jenny and The Mexicats, composed of English trumpeter and singer Jenny Ball, Spanish percussionist David González Bernardos, and Mexicans Pantera Mexicat on guitar and Icho on double bass, is a fusion of nationalities and personalities, with a unique musical style that combines the rhythms of jazz, rockabilly, folk, flamenco, reggae, Veracruz, country and cumbia. Previously known as Pachucos and The Princess when they first started in Madrid in 2008, the band eventually recorded their first album Jenny and The Mexicats in the summer of 2011 and moved to Mexico City in 2012. Since then, the band has taken their unique signature style, combining big rhythms and energy with moments of sensitivity, on tour around the world, performing songs in both English and Spanish from their 10-year- spanning discography that includes their second album Ome released in 2014 and their latest album released in 2018, Open Sea/ Mar Abierto.
