Step into the high desert magic of Bands of Enchantment, a global music phenomenon television series and festival experience like no other, where boundary-breaking sound meets the soul of the Southwest. Filmed live in downtown Albuquerque against the cinematic backdrop of New Mexico - the Land of Enchantment. Bands of Enchantment: Albuquerque Sessions brings together rock, indie, hip-hop, country, folk, LatinnX, and more in a celebration of raw artistry, cultural fusion, and creative freedom.

 

What started as a homegrown love letter to music and diversity has become an Emmy-winning and internationally streamed television series and now music festival, welcoming artists from around the globe and championing New Mexican artists to perform on an international stage. From rising stars to iconic trailblazers, each session captures the electricity of live performance in a uniquely Albuquerque setting.

 

Broadcasting on PBS across the U.S. and streaming worldwide on TUBI, Prime Video, The Roku Channel, All Arts, and more, the series has racked up critical acclaim, including an Emmy Award, multiple Telly Awards for Best Television Series, and the New Mexico Entertainment Award for Best Production.

 

Whether you’re catching the beat on screen or dancing in the streets at our annual downtown Albuquerque festival, Bands of Enchantment is a movement where music meets mystique, and the world comes to play.
