Event Details
An Evening of Ancestral Sound Under Desert Stars with Carlos Niño, Luis Pérez Ixoneztli
3:30 PM - Workshop
6:00 PM - Concert
8:30 PM - Dinner
You are invited to gather amidst the high desert boulders just outside of Pioneertown for a rare musical communion at The Mirror at Meander Canyon.
On April 25th, Carlos Niño — prolific producer, percussionist, and composer known for Carlos Niño & Friends — will offer a special set under the stars in collaboration with his mentor, Luis Pérez Ixoneztli.
Carlos Niño’s work bridges spiritual jazz, ambient, and experimental sound, weaving expansive collaborations into deeply intimate listening experiences. His music invites presence, openness, and wonder.
Luis Pérez Ixoneztli is a highly influential Mexican composer, ethnomusicologist, and multi-instrumentalist whose life has been devoted to the study and preservation of Indigenous musical traditions. Beginning in the early 1970s in Mexico City, his journey into native instruments evolved into a profound exploration of pre-Columbian Mesoamerican sound. Traveling across Mexico, he learned directly from Maya, Nahuatl, Mazateco, Yoeme, Comcaac, Rarámuri, Wixárika, and other living traditions — gathering not only instruments, but songs, stories, and ancestral memory. His music reaches deep into the past while existing entirely outside of time, channeling the soul of Mexico through sacred wind and percussion instruments.
Together, Carlos and Luis offer a meeting of lineage and evolution — mentor and student, ancient and emergent.
*Carlos will also be DJing a special set during a beautiful plant-based dinner under the stars with chef Vanessa Wolfe.
Workshop Offering
For those interested in a more intimate understanding of his life’s work, Luis Pérez will also be offering a workshop on Pre-Columbian Wind and Percussion Instruments of Mesoamerica, sharing both technique and cultural lineage. The workshop will take place on the land just before the concert.
