Edible Audible Picnic: El Guincho July 12, 2010

Edible Audible Picnic, the poly-rhythmic music series returns to Millennium Park at noon this summer, featuring DJs and live bands as diverse and entrancing as the electronic genre in which they play. Presented by the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Millennium Park, this free series expands to include 16 concerts on Mondays and select Saturdays at noon, beginning June 7 through September 4, 2010.

El Guincho is the recording alias of Spanish musician Pablo Díaz-Reixa. His musical style is influenced by a broad range of artists like Animal Collective and Os Mutantes, and relies heavily on the use of sampling, incorporating elements of Afrobeat, dub, Tropicália and rock and roll. Díaz-Reixa described his music as a kind of "space-age exotica".
