David Wax, one half of David Wax Museum, sings and plays jarana, a type of guitar. Suz Slezak provides vocal harmonies and plays fiddle and quijada, a percussive instrument that's similar to a vibraslap but is made from a donkey's jawbone. It may all seem unconventional, but together the Boston duo makes musica hermosa (beautiful music). That's because David Wax Museum weaves organic textures from traditional Mexican and American folk to create joyous melodies and memorable songs, a soundtrack that would be at home in either Rochester or Juarez.
David Wax Museum performs Wednesday, February 29, 8 p.m. at Abilene Bar & Lounge, 153 Liberty Pole Way. $8. 232-3230, abilenebarandlounge.com.
