Adrian Quesada's Jaguar Sound

At April’s first annual Austin Blues Festival in Waterloo Park, Adrian Quesada prowled and growled. “The Black Pumas guitarist/founder riffed an instrumental expedition into the urban jungle: ours,” we wrote. The local Laredoan recalls the set vividly: “People reacted a lot more than I thought they would,” he texts. “I thought the music would be a little too left field.” Hardly. Try cinematic magic. “This show will be a Jaguar Sound show primarily, but with a mini boleros set as a rare special treat,” Quesada outlines. Balladeers Mireya Ramos, Angélica Garcia, and Clemente Castillo bonus last week‘s surprise bulletin of a long-awaited sophomore Pumas LP. —73703
