Two estrellas shine brighter than one, and Astropical is taking its heightened star power on the road.
The Latin supergroup, which consists of the critically acclaimed bands Bomba Estéreo and Rawayana, will embark on a headlining North American tour this summer. The 16-date trek, which kicks off May 24, will include stops in New York City, Chicago, Atlanta, Houston and Las Vegas.
Fronted by singer Liliana “Li” Saumet, Colombian group Bomba Estéreo has been charming audiences with its vibrant electro tropical sound, which combines euphoric dance beats with warm Caribbean rhythms. Bomba’s latest album, 2021’s “Deja,” cracked the top 20 of Billboard’s Latin Pop Albums chart, while the group’s 2022 collaboration with Bad Bunny, “Ojitos Lindos,” resulted in a Latin Grammy nomination for record of the year.
Venezuelan band Rawayana, whose psychedelic alternative-pop fusion is led by singer Alberto “Beto” Montenegro, emerged victorious at the 67th annual Grammy Awards in February when “¿Quién Trae las Cornetas?” won the award for best Latin rock or alternative album.
“I’m really excited about the Astropical tour because I’ve had many years playing only with Rawayana,” Montenegro told USA TODAY in a statement translated from Spanish. “I’m preparing myself to join forces with Li and bring the most beautiful thing possible to this world.”
The tour follows the release of Astropical’s self-titled debut album on Friday. The experimental 12-track LP takes inspiration from astrology, with each song dedicated to a different zodiac sign.
Here’s everything you need to know about the supergroup’s upcoming shows.
