Albuquerque folk-rock duo Bébé La La is comprised of Alicia Ultan and Maryse Lapierre. These two gifted multi-instrumentalists perform on Saturday, May 2, at Las Amapolas (6909 Menaul NE, Suite G) in celebration of their latest album High Wire. Lauded for angelic harmonizing, continental song stylings and a tendency to make the combination of viola and accordion sound like a fantastic journey to vast, vernal landscapes, Bébé La La will be joined onstage by an ensemble that includes bassists Mike Fox and Jeremy Sment, percussionist Jefferson Voorhees and Alicia’s twin sister Jacqueline on cello.

Las Flores del Valle's dual guitarists Carol Vigil and Leila Flores-Dueñas call Burque home, but they proudly display influences from wide-ranging Southwestern borderlands. The duo kicks off the evening's journey into light and love with songs that reflect the history and innovative inflections of traditional tropes. This all-ages affair happens at a venue that features fine food and sumptuous snacks. Doors swing wide at 6:30pm, and the recital gets going one hour later. Tickets are $15 dollars in advance and $20 the day of the show. (August March)
