Calexico played their first show of their Edge of the Sun tour at the final day of Celtic Connections this weekend featuring music from their new album as well as songs from their extensive back-catalogue. Ian McDonagh was there to capture some of the magic through the lens in this special photo feature for Folk Radio UK.
Check out their new track Cumbia de Donde (ft. Amparo Sanchez) below.
They performed a four-track encore that included their Minutemen cover of Corona:
