Calexico visited to Chicago last week to bring a close to the free summer concert series at Millenium Park.  They brought along some friends including Salvador Duran (who was featured on the Calexico/Iron & Wine EP In The Reins from 2005) and Mariachi Luz de Luna Grupo Zazhil from Mexico.

Much of the material covered over the course of the evening was culled from the recent Calexico release Carried to Dust. The on-stage lineup – which I counted at eleven – jumped around from song to song even prior to bringing out the 7 piece Mariachi band.  If you missed them don’t fret – they’re back in Chicago this fall at the Metro 11/21.
