McKinney, Texas -- McKinney Performing Arts Center welcomes Chicano powerhouse band Del Castillo to the Courtroom Theater Saturday, August 17, 2024. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Showtime is set for 7:00 p.m.
Del Castillo is a cross-cultural power, uniting music lovers of all ages, creeds, and colors. Their original music blends rock, Latin, blues, and world music into a cinematic celebration of sound that lifts your soul.
It started with brothers Mark del Castillo and Rick del Castillo, accomplished electric guitarists in different bands, deciding in the winter of 2000 to collaborate on a recording project intended as a gift to their parents and family members for the holiday season. The “Brothers of the Castle” recording and subsequent “one night only” gig had such positive turnout that word continued to spread about the new band, growing both their audience and reputation for a uniquely special concert experience.
“Del Castillo are a high-energy Chicano band from Austin that sings in Spanish, combining old-school Gitano with flailing nuevo flamenco flourishes and churning polyrhythmic percussion. Their secret weapons are brothers Rick and Mark del Castillo, whose tumbling brilliance on nylon-string classical guitars features jaw-dropping dual leads. These eruptions of technique and taste conjure images of Eddie van Halen fronting early Santana (with an assist from the Gipsy Kings).” ~ Rolling Stone
