Antidote for the pandemic blues

AMP Concerts returns with a new series of 10 concerts, Emerging from the Pandemic with ..., featuring a lineup of Albuquerque’s best musicians and bands at the new outdoor venue Casa Flamenca (401 Rio Grande Blvd. NW, Albuquerque). Kicking off the series, which runs through June 12, is Emerging from the Pandemic With Revíva, featuring the city’s own multilingual Burqueño, reggae, and rock band.
