Laboratorio is the ongoing concert series conceived and led by Carrie Rodriguez, a multitalented bilingual singer/songwriter/fiddle player from Austin, Texas. Carrie and her all-star Laboratorio band collaborate with a different guest artist for each unique performance, ensuring that no two shows are ever the same. Their quest is to both explore and stretch the boundaries of what is considered to be Latin Music in America today. Not only does this ongoing “laboratory” produce byproducts of joy and wonder (on stage AND in the audience), it also reflects our American experiment: men and women, young and old, black, white, brown, and everything in between, all playing together nicely. They might play an ancient Mexican corrido, which then drifts into a dreamy psychedelic cover of Neil Young’s “Cortez the Killer’, followed up by an original bilingual twangy composition by Carrie. They share duties, they take turns, they switch instruments: you want to see this because we should ALL be this way.
Who is Laboratorio? Carrie Rodriguez – vocals, violin, tenor guitar / Michael Ramos – vocals, keys, accordion / Roscoe Beck – bass Alex Marrero – vocals, drums / David Pulkingham – vocals, guitars / + special featured guest RUBEN RAMOS*
