More often than not, SXSW happens during St. Patrick’s Day and in 2010 Remezcla.com and BMI teamed to present “Verde Wednesday,” or Green Wednesday, and showcased new and emerging sounds stemming from Latin America and the US, putting a new twist on the the holiday. Local Austinite’s Maneja Beto, LA based La Santa Cecilia, the Bronx's Maluca, Colombia’s DJ Collective Palenke Soultribe, Monterrey’s electro indie pop Volovan and Mexico City’s buzzy indie act Vicente Gayo filled Mi Casa Cantina, proving you don't have to be Irish to enjoy St. Patrick's Day.
