Chicago’s premier Mexican folk musicians return to the Capitol Theater to headline the 29th International Festival. Sones de México bring what the Chicago Reader calls “a dazzling array of Mexican folk-music forms with a preservationist’s care, bursting with energy.” In their own thoroughly modern way, they’ll transport you to a dusty village fandango to an urban barrio and back again. They sold out their show here last year, so get your tickets soon.
