With a welcoming sound that embraces cumbia, vallenato, rancheras, R&B and jazz, the singer-songwriter Alea moves her audiences with messages of the spirit, social consciousness and love. Originally from La Guajira, Colombia, and now based in Brooklyn, Alea’s performance encompasses an entire generation of ethno-futuristic and folkloric music. They are celebrations of Latin America and new definitions of what “Latin Alternative” can be. Her latest album, 2021’s Alborotá, was shortlisted as among the Best Latin Music of the year by both Rolling Stone and NPR. Alea is currently crafting a new album, set to be unveiled in singles in 2024. Her latest work ventures into electronic sounds, R&B and Latin soul. With this bold exploration, Alea continues to push the boundaries of her artistry, promising an even more dynamic and diverse musical experience for audiences.
