La Perla / Meridian Brothers 

La Perla is the all-female powerhouse hailing from Bogotá, Columbia. Founded in 2014 by Karen Forero, Giovanna Mogollón and Diana Sanmiguel, and inspired by traditional folklore and spirituality, La Perla’s sound plays homage to their native roots while challenging the status quo. Hypnotic, percussion-forward rhythms are the backdrop for their politically charged lyrics centered on feminism and Indigenous struggles.

Meridian Brothers is the musical project of Colombian musician, composer, and producer Eblis Álvarez. Known for its eclectic and experimental sound, they blend traditional cumbia and vallenato with psychedelic rock, jazz, and tropical influences, all while weaving together fantasy and undeniable technical skills.
