Calexico
Calexico is in many respects the quintessential American rock band for the new millennium, because of — rather than in spite of -- their international flavors. Calling the sun-baked desert city Tucson home, and just a short hop from the Mexican border, few bands reflect their climatic and cultural surroundings as thoroughly, or pleasingly, as Calexico. The cross-border mix of Latin beats and instrumentation, twangy country, surf guitar, desert-noir and indie rock is plenty beguiling already, but Calexico also incorporates Portuguese fados, Parisian waltzes, Afro-Peruvian and Native American beats, modal jazz, Balkan accents, impressionistic classical, and virtually anything else that slips into their musical melting pot.
