2011-2012 Fine Arts Season Performance

BORDER MUSIC:
David Hidalgo, guitar, vocals
Marc Ribot, guitar

Presented in partnership with the Jewish Community Center of Austin and the Austin Classical Guitar Society

Guitar meets guitar as Texas Performing Arts hosts the U.S. premiere of this rocking post-roots, pan-Latin, rave-up/descarga. David Hidalgo is the driving vocal and guitar force of East LA’s Los Lobos and Latin Playboys, the former of which took border-hopping cultural collisions onto the world stage with a series of chart-topping songs and albums. Marc Ribot combines musical excursions between cultures, styles, and genres, forging a unique partnership where immigrant neighborhoods meet intellectual nuance – creating truly new music to stir your heart, challenge your head, and move your body.

Hidalgo and Ribot will be joined by Brad Jones (bass) and Anthony “The Professor” Coleman (keyboards), both original Cubanos Postizos, and drummer Cougar Estrada of Los Lobos.

ArtesAméricas performance

“At times Ribot played with the wasp-like sting of the young, Bluesbreakers-era Eric Clapton, Hidalgo replying with legato lines rich in lyricism. At other times they reversed these roles or mixed them up. The result: a profoundly memorable evening.”
