Three drum witches from Bogota, La Perla is a one-of-a-kind percussion and vocal trio of three of Bogota's top young musicians, whose powerful lyrics and beloved rhythms - classic bullerengue, cumbia, merengue, gaita, and kreyol champeta -- are accompanied by a dose of punk rock attitude. They represent and pay tribute to the Colombian Caribbean culture and tradition, while at the same time modernizing the genres with original music and songs filled with politically charged lyrics based around feminism, indigenous struggles, and the power of the global south. Opening set by DJ Achiote. Presented by Rhythm Foundation and Tigre Sounds as part of the on-going Global Sounds Series.

Where do we park?
The municipal parking lot at 73rd Street and Collins Avenue is across the street from the Bandshell, and it is free (!) after 6pm. When it is full, look for street parking.
What if it rains?
The venue is an open air facility, covered by our new canopy. Shows are scheduled rain or shine.
Can we bring a picnic?
No outside food or drink inside the Bandshell, please. We have a fully-stocked bar, and we usually feature wonderful food vendors inside the venue. We also have a water refill station.
