Show Overview: Once again, the MIT Student Center was filled with the sounds of dynamic student music. Despite numerous concurring events, we had a great turnout. Over the course of the night, over 125 members of the MIT community were entertained and soothed by the engaging music of Capricho and Castle Bravo.
Capricho (
http://vivacapricho.com) came with a wonderful medley of flamenco fusion. A multi-piece band, they grabbed their diverse audience's attention with a mix of originals and covers. Their audience highlighted MIT's diverse student population. Numerous International students as well as fellow students of Middle Eastern and European descent were interspersed throughout the crowd enjoying the music. To look out into the audience was to see the fact that music transcends race and brings people together. Xavier Gonzalez, the band's vocal lead, brought the students together stating openly in an improvisational section, "You and me - we're from the same town."
Castle Bravo (
http://castlebravo.mit.edu) followed up with a blast from the past, showing MIT what it means to rock out. The classic rock scene on campus has seen growing enthusiasm over the past few years and Castle Bravo executed a mix of covers and originals quite nicely to this effect. LMC exec members could be seen in the back air-guitaring profusely as guitarist, Ethan Bates '10 on the guitar reminded us why people yell 'Freebird!' at concerts. They came. They saw. They rocked.
Thanks so much to these two amazing bands for working with us to bring their music to the forefront on campus in order to help improve student life. And of course, thanks to the students who came out and enjoyed the music. You are the reason we are working to deliver this.
It was quite an eventful 3rd show for the LMC 2009 Inaugural Fall Concert Series. We ramped up our recording setup for the bands, and we were able to deliver the enjoyment of live music on campus to more members of the MIT community than ever before
