Calobo (1997)

I had never heard of Calobo before this show.  I was in Portland going to Grad School and had some great friends that also lived there that I knew from Michigan where I grew up.  They invited me to see Calobo and to hang out for the day.  The Rose Garden is a beautiful outside amphitheater in Washington Park and like the name implies is IN a beautiful rose garden in Portland, Oregon.
This show was in August and the weather that day was amazing ~ Calobo performs really well and the sound of the band is original and innovative. They have played live at the Crystal Ballroom in downtown Portland as well, but I was happy to see them this day ~ outside, in the beautiful amphitheater, with sunshine ~  and with great friends ~
