This week’s encore broadcast of Mountain Stage features the Americana Tex-Mex indie rock music of Calexico, who made their fourth appearance on the show. You’ll also hear the dreamlike soundscapes of Irish alt-folk artist Anna Mieke, music from David Wax Museum‘s new album You Must Change Your Life, Americana music pioneer Steve Forbert, and folk singer-songwriter and activist David Huckfelt.
Our Song of the Week comes from indie rockers, Calexico. Their performance of “Cumbia de Donde,” from their album Edge of the Sun, is a bilingual masterpiece that puts an original spin on mariachi music. Calexico also performed songs from their newest album El Mirador, including “Harness the Wind” and title song “El Mirador.”
