La Perla
New dates TBD
Doors open: 7:00 PM | Show starts: 08:00 PM
Talented percussive vocal trio La Perla are set to bring their Afro-Colombian rhythms to the Miami Beach Bandshell on Thursday, May 2 as part of the ongoing Global Sounds Series. This powerhouse trio brings the rich heritage of Colombia's Caribbean coast to life with a modern twist.
La Perla features three of Bogotá's rising stars, combining percussion and vocals to deliver a captivating blend of classic bullerengue, cumbia, merengue, gaita and kreyol champeta rhythms. Their high-energy performance infuses these styles with a dose of punk, creating a unique sound.
More than just musicians, La Perla acts as a cultural ambassador. Their original music celebrates Colombian Caribbean traditions while weaving in socially conscious lyrics that address feminism, indigenous struggles and the power of the global south.
The evening kicks off with an opening set by DJ Achiote. This event is presented by Rhythm Foundation and Tigre Sounds.
