For many years, we've been patiently waiting to welcome Colombian percussion and vocal trio La Perla to The Jam Jar. The stars have finally aligned.

Moving seamlessly between Colombias Caribbean coastal roots and contemporary urban sounds: bullerengue, cumbia, merengue, gaita and champeta to punk, hip hop and beatbox - La Perla bring powerful lyrics, raw energy, and a wealth of tradition.

La Perla was formed in 2014. The three Bogotanas traveled through rural regions of Colombia and the Caribbean to study the musical languages of bullerengue, cumbia, merengue, gaita, and Creole champeta, learning them at their roots and weaving them into their own songs. Their lyrics highlight social concerns, denouncing political corruption, racial injustice, and gender discrimination. Their debut EP Paren La Bulla (2017) and the inclusion of the track Bruja in Netflix’s Siempre Bruja brought them international attention and touring opportunities across the Americas and Europe, where they were met with great success.
