  • Tablao Flamenco Friday Dinner Show

    Tablao Flamenco Albuquerque at Hotel Albuquerque
    date nightTickets

    This is a seated dinner-format flamenco show in a room that was built for exactly this kind of performance, with a stage close enough that you feel the foot percussion in your chest. Performers are TBA at time of listing, which is typical for tablao-style productions that pull from a rotating roster of working artists...

  • Spanish Harlem Orchestra at Old Town

    Albuquerque Museum
    Old Townlive musicTickets

    The Spanish Harlem Orchestra, a Grammy-winning nine-piece salsa dura outfit from New York, brings the kind of hard-bop Latin brass that doesn't get softened for festival crowds. The museum's outdoor amphitheater sits at the edge of Old Town and carries sound well on a late-August night, but the grassy slope fills early and latecomers end...

  • Carma & Friends Resident Takeover at The ABQ Press Club

    The ABQ Press Club
    house/technoDetails

    Five local and regional DJs trading off across bass house, techno, trance, and UK garage in what amounts to a full-night showcase of Albuquerque's underground dance scene. Resident takeovers like this tend to run longer and weirder than standard bookings, which is either a selling point or a warning depending on how you feel about...

  • Las Borrachas & Carma at Lunas Kava Root

    Gaia's Kava Root
    UNM AreaelectronicDetails

    Two local electronic acts, Las Borrachas and Carma, are headlining this late-night set at Lunas Kava Root, a kava bar on Central that tends to run quieter and more intentional than your average after-hours spot. The 3:00 AM UTC timestamp puts this squarely in after-hours territory, but the listed start time is a placeholder, so...
