Correo Aéreo (Air Mail) is a world music duo performing traditional music of Venezuela, Mexico and Argentina. Highly skilled musicians Abel Rocha and Madeleine Sosin combine silken harmonies and an unusual array of instruments with a rich mastery of traditional rhythmic patterns and song. Hailed for their musical and vocal virtuosity and their original interpretations of folkloric music, Correo Aéreo takes audiences on an unforgettable journey into the sonic riches of Latin America.  Their performances propel audiences into a magical world blended from indigenous rhythms, passionate adventures, nature and the poetry of life and death.

The duo met in Santa Fe in 1991.  They formed Correo Aéreo in 1992 and toured the U.S. and Mexico for a year.  They recorded their CD, Provinces, the same year.  They relocated to Austin, Texas in 1993 after having been invited to perform at South By Southwest's (SXSW) first World Music Showdown.  They quickly became fixtures at local venues.  Correo Aéreo also tours nationally and internationally, appearing in concerts, festivals, and clubs.  They have also developed a popular educational program.

Currently, Correo Aéreo is working on a new CD and preparing to go out on tour again, first to Amsterdam and Belgium.  After a brief stint back in Austin, they will be off to California.  Correo Aéreo has steady local gigs in the Austin area whenever they are home.  Please go to the Performances Page for a complete schedule.  If you don't catch them live, you can listen to the CD, see a televised performance and take a look at more photos.
