At its heart, Laboratorio is a musical exploration and celebration of Latinx culture and its contribution to the American experiment. For each unique live performance, Carrie and her all-star Laboratorio band collaborate with a different guest artist, ensuring that no two shows are ever the same. Not only does each unique “laboratory” produce joy and wonder (on stage AND in the audience), it also reflects our American experiment: men and women, young and old, black, white, brown, and everything in between, collectively creating an uplifting sense of surprise in each performance. They might play an ancient Mexican corrido, which then drifts into a dreamy psychedelic cover of Neil Young’s “Cortez the Killer’, followed up by an original bilingual twangy composition by Carrie. The musicians share duties, switch instruments and take turns being featured, expressing the values of mutual respect and innovation that the best aspects of this country were built on.
Although Laboratorio is best received in person – living, breathing, and evolving in front of the eyes and ears – we invite you to take a peak at a handful of evenings that were lovingly documented to share a small glimpse of the magic with a wider audience.
