Live on the Patio at Roy Thomson Hall

The Villalobos Brothers with Alberto De la Rosa

FREE

#LiveatMH

Born and raised in Xalapa, Veracruz, Mexico, the three Villalobos Brothers spent their childhood listening to their grandmother sing and play guitar and accordion after a day’s work. Acclaimed as one of today’s leading Contemporary Mexican ensembles, their original compositions and arrangements masterfully blend and celebrate the richness of Mexican folk music with the intricate harmonies of jazz and classical music. They’ve collaborated and recorded with legendary musicians including Grammy winners Paddy Moloney and The Chieftains, Dan Zanes, Jay Rodriguez, Pierre Boulez, Dolly Parton and Eddie Palmieri, and, in addition to being the first Mexican band to play at the Apollo Theater in Harlem, performances include the Latin Grammy Awards, Carnegie Hall, the Guggenheim Museum, Lincoln Center, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the 60th Anniversary of the United Nations, Rockefeller Center, Shea Stadium and more.
