Darren Cordova y Calor at ABQ BioPark

Darren Cordova y Calor brings New Mexico’s red-chile strain of conjunto and old-school country to the Botanic Garden’s outdoor summer series, timed to the Route 66 Centennial. The garden setting means you’re watching under cottonwoods with the Rio Grande bosque a short walk away, which does something to a horn section that a club stage cannot. Admission details weren’t posted at time of listing, so check the city’s BioPark event page before you go.
