The Villalobos Brothers

The Villalobos Brothers, one of today's leading contemporary Mexican ensembles, features the three brothers' high-octane fiddling along with Rosa Avila on drums, Humberto Flores, guitar, and Leo Sherman, bass. The Villalobos Brothers' original compositions and arrangements masterfully blend and celebrate the richness of Mexican folk music with the intricate harmonies of jazz and classical music. They won the Vox-Pop Award at the 2013 Independent Music Awards and were champions at NPR's 2013 Battle of the Boroughs in New York City. In 2012 they completed their first studio album, Aliens of Extraordinary Ability.
