Nosotros Returns with Special Guests Nuevo Sol Saturday, September 12, 2009
The local music scene has slowly matured over time to create a sound that is true to its Border roots. Heavily influenced by Latin rhythms, but holding firm to traditional American sounds, the result is a progressive style that is uniquely Southwestern. Two of the frontrunners of this evolving form are local-favorites-turned-rising-stars, Nosotros, and relative newcomers on the scene, Nuevo Sol. Both will take the Rio Grande Theatre stage on September 12, 2009.
Award-winning ensemble, Nosotros, began as a local guitar trio in 1994, but has since added members, relocated to Albuquerque and racked up the awards, cementing their reputation as a Latin music powerhouse. Seamlessly combining Latin rhythms with the elements of Flamenco, Jazz, Salsa and Rock to create an unmistakably original sound, Nosotros recently released their fourth album, entitled “Llena La Alma,” with Grammy Award-winning Engineer, Doug Geist.
Nuevo Sol–made up of members from such diverse local acts as Rio, Zia’s Soul, Del Rey, Live Bait and Liquid Cheese–takes the best of Latin, Jazz, Reggae and Rock, then transforms them into a powerful, energetic performance with a style all their own. The result is a progressive, cutting-edge sound that reflects the rich cultural styles of the region and takes Southwestern music to all new levels.
The Rio Grande Theatre is located at 211 N. Downtown Mall, in Las Cruces. Doors open at 7pm and the performance begins at 7:30 pm. Tickets are $15 and can be purchased via the website at www.RioGrandeTheatre.com. For more information contact Rio Grande Theatre Manager, David Salcido, at (575) 523-6403.
