On the heels of a supergroup crossover between two Latin American bands pioneering eclectic music styles, Bomba Estéreo and Rawayana are coming together in support of their Astropical project with a performance at the Hollywood Bowl on Sunday, Sept. 7. Joining the two bands, who will also play together as Astropical, are openers Macario Martínez and YEИDRY. Grimy Goods has tickets to give away, courtesy of our friends at the Hollywood Bowl.

For years, Li Saumet of Bomba Estéreo wanted to work with Rawayana. When the chance finally presented itself in the form of Astropical, both sides collaborated on a smorgasbord of an album, bringing to the table reggaetón inflections, Afrobeats, and electronica, among other styles.

At the same time, their self-titled album serves as an opportunity to bring their home countries to the spotlight. While both collectives come from different cultures, the connective tissue between them, defined by a tendency to push the envelope and redefine what genre classification means for their fields, ultimately lets them make a stronger statement about representing together at a time when tensions are higher than they’ve ever been worldwide.
