Join Western New Mexico University in welcoming new and returning students back to campus at the event of the summer - the annual Welcome Back Bash! Celebrate the start of the academic year with an energetic evening full of music and Mustang spirit.

Start the night with Albuquerque's soul-pop-funk sensation, and one of New Mexico's best bands- The Mango Cakes- a high-energy band known for their vibrant fusion of funk, pop, R&B, and jazz. With silky vocals, tight rhythms, and bold horn lines, they deliver unforgettable live shows that blend original music with crowd-favorite covers. Their sound is as fresh and fun as their name, making every performance a feel-good, dance-worthy experience.
