I believe Irakere's first US appearance was in 1978, at Carnegie Hall, as a surprise late guest after a concert billed as "Three Pianos, Two Guitars". (A memorable lineup in its own right.)
I was at that performance. One of the most spectacular live performances I have ever seen - and heard, in any case.
These guys can play.
