Los Rebeldes

A local group is bringing new flavor to Albert Lea. Los Rebeldes is a band filled with family members, some of whom played through the late ’70s, while the group officially formed in the mid-’90s. Together, their specialty is Tex-Mex, or Tejano music, which is described as a combination of country, folk, rock ’n’ roll and polka blended together. Los Rebeldes will perform at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at Marion Ross Performing Arts Center in downtown Albert Lea. Tickets are $15 and can be purchased at actonbroadway.com, by calling 877-730-3144 or at the door the night of the show.
