Greek Theatre - U.C. Berkeley
Hey Berkeley, Hola California! Two questions - One, What’s your sign? And two - are you ready to get Astropical, are you ready to dance?? Okay okay, technically that’s three questions - but for a concert filled with so many beats and overlapping music genres, we thought it was only right to throw another one in there for ya. Coming from two superstars across Reggaeton, Electronic, Cumbia, and Afrobeats sounds, this tour is sure to get you out of your seats and on the dance floor with your besties- because Bomba Estereo and Rawayana are going on tour!
Yep yep - you heard us right! Right off the heels of their fusion into the ASTROPICAL supergroup and subsequent album, the two groups are going on tour for a summer of fun, love, and sweet sounds to our ears - and everyone’s invited! Catch the tour in town right here at The Greek Theatre on Friday, September 12th.
Tickets are on sale RIGHT NOW and starting at $91 - and we heard these tickets are selling out FAST, so don’t wait!
Everyone here at Greek Theatre in Berkeley California is so excited to welcome Bomba Estereo and Rawayana to the stage on September 12th as they continue their global domination after the release of their ASTROPICAL album this Spring, which is also the same name of the tour. Featuring sixteen dates across all of North America, this eclectic mash up of sounds is sure to bring the island vibes right here to Berkeley for a truly once in a lifetime show.
Bomba Estereo is a Colombian electro tropical band formed in Bogota in the early 2000s by the band’s keyboardist and bassist Simón Mejía. As the band began to gain traction and attract new members - including lead singer Li Samuet and her infectious, nasally voice - they began to see mainstream success across South America and the world. They were first voted Best New Band In The World by MTV back in 2010, and subsequently saw collaborations with Levi’s, Lollapalooza Chile, Coachella, Walmart, and most recently - Bad Bunny’s 2019 song Ojitos Lindos from his magnum opus Un Verano Sin Ti. The song became one of the most successful tracks on the album and saw the group reach over 1 billion plays on Spotify and other streaming platforms. Now, the group is enjoying the success of multiple collaborations and curated shows, including their most recent album ASTROPICAL with Rawayana.
Rawayana is a Venezuelan band formed in Caracas also in the early 2000s, whose music combines reggae, psychedelia, funk, and salsa vibes. Some fans describe their musical style as trippy pop, but above all - they are very good and super unique, effortlessly swinging through genres as they please.They have released five solo albums and have won both Latin Grammys and Grammys for their work just in the last year. They are on a roll - so what do you do when the world gives you all the attention? Release a super hot summer album and keep on the gas pedal! At the moment - ASTROPICAL currently has 25 million combined streams across all their songs on the record that is only two weeks old. And with a summer full of shows and more fans to sway (their hips and their minds, that is), there’s no telling how big of a long lasting impact the tropical album will have on us - but we’re here for it!
Well! We’ve said a mouthful - let’s leave room for the music. Get your tickets today, and we’ll see you soon!
