    Aterciopelados

    Latin Rock

    Aterciopelados is the most emblematic band of Colombian rock. They possess an enormous repertoire of classics, such as: Florecita Rockera, Bolero Falaz, Maligno, El Álbum and more others), while staying relevant by experimenting, creating, and adapting. Andrea Echeverri and Conector have journeyed through the alternative Ibero-American music scene for 30 years. They are winners of 3 Latin Grammys for their albums 'Gozo Poderoso' in 2001, 'Oye' in 2007, and 'Claroscura' in 2018; and have been nominated 6 times for the Grammy Awards.

    This dynamic duo has written part of Colombian history in choruses and verses, with a feminine voice, they have lamented its violence and committed themselves to a possible future, fairer and less violent.

    With 11 albums: 'Con el Corazón en la Mano' (1993), 'El Dorado' (1995), 'La Pipa De La Paz' (1996), 'Caribe Atómico' (1998), 'Gozo Poderoso' (2000), 'Evolución' (2002), 'Oye' (2006), 'Río' (2008), 'Reluciente, Rechinante y Aterciopelado' (2016), 'Claroscura' (2018), and 'Tropiplop' (2021), they have transcended in the industry, breaking stereotypes, creating music with messages of female empowerment, environmental awareness, melodrama, impossible loves, and possible peace processes.

    In 2021, they presented their latest album 'Tropiplop', a cry in defense of art, women, and the planet, which earned them 2 nominations for the 2021 Latin Grammy Awards. They also released the singles ‘No Se Viola’ (ft. La Muchacha), ‘Ovarios’ (ft. Vivir Quintana) and ‘Plañidera’ (ft. Las Áñez), which were part of Andrea Echeverri's art exhibition ‘Ovarios Calvarios’.

    During 2022, they toured Europe, Latin America & the United States with the 'Tropiplop Tour'; they released the singles: ‘Síganme los buenos’ in collaboration with Bomba Estéreo and ‘Volver a Solreír’ with Ruben Albarrán from Café Tacvba. They also premiered the music video for the song ‘Meditacielo’ included in the album 'Tropiplop,' and their episode of 'BIOS. VIDAS QUE MARCARON LA TUYA' on National Geographic, where they took an emotional and revealing journey through the history of Aterciopelados."

    For this 2023, Aterciopelados commemorates the 28th anniversary of their album 'El Dorado' (1995) with a major tour across Colombia, Latin America, United States, and Europe.

    The Braided Janes

    Latin Rock

    The Braided Janes is a three piece, Latin Alternative band from Chicago, IL.

    Founded  by family members Jessica Rodriguez (vocals, keys, guitar), wife Juny  Alvarez (drums, percussion), and brother-in-law Andrew Doyle (bass,  electric guitar), The Braided Janes have made an undeniable impact in  the Latin scene with their statement-making music and shared vision for  social change. 

     

    Bilingual and multicultural, their music transcends through language and genre barriers to create a unique sound of their own. Their powerful debut album addressed important topics such as gun violence, femicide, and the war on immigrants and  POC, and the song “Fuego,” featured on the 2019 project, achieved  attention from NPR, which included the track as one of their Best Latin Alternative Songs of 2019.

     

    In March 2022 the band traveled to Minca Colombia to record their 2nd studio album, "Renacer" (Reborn) with Grammy award winning producer Christian Castagno of Sonido Selva Studio ( (Iggy Pop, Bomba Estéreo, Arcade Fire, Systema Solar, The Tom Tom Club)  “Renacer” is a Latin roots album which braids a new wave of sounds into the eclectic, musical syntax of The Braided Janes. 

     

    The rhythmic and upbeat album best described as, “Tropi-alt rock” features seven songs all in Spanish. No Puedo Más was the first single released late 2022 followed by Mi Canto, Paraíso and their latest single Por Una Mujer released June 30th in celebration of the LGBTQ+ community. The full length album Renacer will be released September 22nd, 2023 on Bandcamp and all streaming platforms and the official album release party will be September 23rd at the National Museum of Mexican Art, Pilsen, Chicago. RSVP details TBA. 

     

    The Braided Janes are currently on their first ever, Corazón Migrante U.S Tour 2023 with performances in over a dozen cities throughout the U.S. alongside an incredible visual display of art, featuring 40 paintings of various mediums, two paper mâché  sculptures, and a fashion show, all created by the CORAZÓN MIGRANTE collective of multidisciplinary artists of Mexican descent in the United  States with the goal of highlighting the vibrancy found within the  Mexican migrant community in the U.S. The Braided Janes’ Jessica  Rodriguez is the artist representing Chicago.
