Pleymobil came into being when Hector Rodríguez and Andres Suarez met in music school in Mexico City where they quickly identified a shared desire to make music which would be uniquely their own.

While traveling outside their own country, they finally found the right name for their band—Pleymobil. Remembering those famous toys that every little kid used to have, they agreed to name the band Pleymobil as a parody of those who continue wasting their lives playing around.

They have kept alive the spirit of creating original music while involved in different projects. Playing all around Mexico City, things went well, but not as well as they had hoped. Eventually Andres, following his heart, arrived in San Miguel in January. It only took one phone call to get Rodríguez to join him here. And, the rest, as they say, is history. Pleymobil is in concert at the Teatro Santa Ana on Wednesday, May 2. Tickets are available at the theater box office.
