El Mirador: Vinyl LP

In 2022, Calexico's Joey Burns and John Convertino released their 10th studio album, El Mirador. It's a vibrant blend of rock, blues, and Latin American sounds, a hopeful beacon in the music world. The band recorded at Sergio Mendoza's Tucson studio in summer 2021, creating a captivating and charming work. Convertino from El Paso and Burns who moved to Boise in 2020 drew on memories of Southwestern landscapes and barrio cultures, writing a love - letter to the desert borderlands. Guatemalan singer - songwriter Gaby Moreno's delicate vocals grace 'El Mirador', and Spanish rocker Jairo Zavala brings his swagger to 'Cumbia Peninsula'. By collaborating with friends, Calexico showcases the unique US - Mexico border intersections and the beauty of a borderless world. El Mirador is both a vantage point and a guiding light, encouraging self - reflection, connection with the Earth and people, and offering hope for the future. After decades on the road, Calexico's music remains limitless and romantic, always looking for new adventures.
