Direct from Mexico: David Aguilar in Concert July 16, 2011

David Aguilar is among the most versatile, creative and groundbreaking contemporary singer-songwriters to come out of Mexico's independent music scene in recent years. This concert is David's first Bay Area performance. He's a playful genre-bender who masterfully blends contemporary acoustic tunes with complex lyrical experimentation and catchy multi-layered melodies.

David's eclectic sound emerges from the intersection of Latin-American folk, Brazilian bossa, flamenco, pop, norteno, traditional Mexican songs, boleros, among others. It is this unique convergence of rhythms and the highly poetic writings in his songs what make David Aguilar one of the most promising voices of contemporary Latin American song. Special Guest: Alejandro Chavez
