Rubinos to perform 'no-holds-barred' music


Soulful yet experimental, Xenia Rubinos has a no-holds-barred approach to her sound, utilizing everything from jazz to punk with a heavy Spanish influence. With just bass and drums, "Pan y Cafe" is a wild ride with hard-core punk drumming and frenzied, fun Spanish lyrics.

Then "Elephant" is a quiet, soft piece featuring the singer's keyboard and vocal (this time in English) prowess. Hailing from Brooklyn, N.Y., Rubinos has been a hot commodity for the past couple of years, touring Europe and the U.S. and having a strong showing at the 2011 South by Southwest festival. Drummer Marco Buccelli's tight yet freeing rhythms add much to Rubinos' sound.
