La Perla

Riguardo a questo evento

La Perla is a percussion and vocal trio from Bogotá, inspired by the traditional sounds of Colombia’s Caribbean coast and influenced by a range of rhythms including Dominican merengue, champeta, punk, hip- hop, and beatboxing. Formed in 2014, the group is made up of Karen Forero, Roberta Leono (Giovanna Mogollón), and Diana Sanmiguel.  In September 2022, La Perla released Callejera, their debut full-length album. Featuring 12 tracks, the record reflects the band’s artistic journey and diverse musical experiences. It was released on the independent label Mambo Negro Records, led by producer Daniel Michel. Callejera brings together rhythms that resonate across Latin America, creating a vibrant dialogue between chalupa and samba, merengue and punk, chicha, slowed-down cumbia, guaguancó, and rap. La Perla has also collaborated with renowned artists such as Frente Cumbiero, Briela Ojeda, Delfina Dib, La Dame Blanche, Instituto Mexicano del Sonido (IMS), Son Rompe Pera, Nubya Garcia, Baja Frequencia, Krakin Dub, and Pulcinella.
