Calexico have gathered fans from all over the world. This hugely popular band will perform at the Odeon of Herodes Atticus for the very first time, presenting some of their biggest hits (“Stray,” “Falling from the sky,” “Crystal Frontier,” “Missing,” “Splitter”), along with songs from their newest, album, “The Threat that Keeps Us”, that was released earlier this year.
An entirely new sub-genre, ‘desert noir,’ was coined to describe the band’s idiosyncratic style; a blend of traditional Latin music influences (mariachi, conjunto, cumbia, tejano), country, jazz and post-rock.
