When future music historians look back at the strong currents circulating between the Americas in the 21st century, they will find Los Lobos, Calexico, and a charismatic, lanky Missourian singing tight harmony with a Southern belle rattling the jawbone of a donkey. David Wax and Suz Slezak form the artistic core of the David Wax Museum, and together they fuse traditional Mexican folk with American roots and indie rock to create a Mexo-Americana aesthetic. Combining Latin rhythms, infectious melodies, and call-and-response hollering, DWM was hailed by Time for its “virtuosic musical skill and virtuous harmonies” and has built a reputation among concertgoers all over the U.S., Canada, Europe, and China for “kicking up a cloud of excitement with their high-energy border-crossing sensibility” (New Yorker).
