La Perla
Often referred to as the 3 Colombian drum witches, La Perla is a one-of-a-kind percussion and vocal trio consisting of three of Bogota's best young musicians, whose powerful lyrics combined with intoxicating rhythms make for an unstoppable dance party. They represent and pay tribute to the Colombian Caribbean culture and tradition, while at the same time modernizing the genres with original music filled with politically charged lyrics based around feminism, indigenous struggles, and the power of Latinxs and the global south. A live show will hit multiple genres including bullerengue, cumbia, merengue, gaita, and kreyol champeta, all accompanied by their deep voices and punk rock attitude. This ain't your mama's drum trio, and it ain't what we used to call world music. It's three powerful modern women playing original music influenced by and based in the folklore of their country, who are also not afraid to challenge the traditions by adding the urban elements which define the contemporary Bogota that has shaped them .
La Perla es un trío percutivo-vocal bogotano que nace en 2014 y está integrado por Karen Forero, Giovanna Mogollón y Diana Sanmiguel, músicas investigadoras de la tradición musical del caribe colombiano con más de 15 años de experiencia en la interpretación del formato de gaitas y tambores y bailes cantados.
