“It’s really a true collaboration,” she says. “Laboratorio” seems like a natural step forward as the artist stretches her musical muscles and explores her cultural musical roots and beyond. The first time she tried it, “It was as if another person came out when I opened my mouth,” Rodriguez said in a 2016 Austin360 interview. Something magical happens to Rodriguez each time she sings in Spanish. Rodriguez says ever since the birth of her son Cruz in 2015, she’s been spending more time making music at home and wanted to create an opportunity to delve deeper into the diverse genres within Latin music.Īlthough most of Rodriguez’ fans are familiar with her fiery fiddle playing and twang-laden Americana songs, her latest album “Lola” explored her bicultural roots and created Tex-Mex music for a new generation. Joining “Laboratorio” on June 7 will be Latin folk-pop artist Gina Chavez. “There’s a little bit of ‘Wow, I don’t know what’s going to happen.’” “We want to leave room for moments that surprise us,” Rodriguez says. Last month singer-songwriter and violinist Carrie Rodriguez teamed up with Grammy award-winning producer and multi-instrumentalist Michael Ramos and top bassist Roscoe Beck to launch what will be a semi-monthly musical series called “Laboratorio” at the Cactus Cafe.Įach Laboratorio performance aims to create what the musicians call “culturally blended music for a culturally blended world” and will feature a different special guest each month to shake things up. There’s something special that occurs when some of Austin’s most talented musicians create a show that defies the rules - a show that’s not meant to be incredibly polished, a musical lab of sorts where experimenting is key.
