La Perla is a powerhouse Colombian trio of researchers, singers, and instrumentalists dedicated to preserving and evolving the musical heritage of the Caribbean. Formed in 2014 by Karen Forero, Giovanna Mogollón, and Diana Sanmiguel, they made history in 2015, becoming the first band from Bogotá to win first prize at the Festival de Gaitas de Ovejas, only the second time in its 30+ year history that the honor was awarded to women. Their song "Bruja"(2018) became an anthem for women across Latin America, featured in the Netflix series Siempre Bruja and embraced in social uprisings in Spain, Colombia, and Chile.
Divina Jasso is a dynamic vocalist and multi-instrumentalist who has performed across a wide range of genres, from Latin jazz, soul, and R&B to reggae, hip-hop, and dub. In recent years, she has honed her skills in music production and live looping, crafting an intimate and immersive performance style. As the lead singer and frontwoman of San Diego-based reggae/dub-hop band Boostive for the past three years, she has commanded stages at major events and festivals, sharing the bill with Bonobo, Domi & JD Beck, Tokimonsta, RJD2, Slightly Stoopid, Thievery Corporation, Lee "Scratch" Perry, Don Carlos, Matisyahu, GZA, and more.
DJ Strange Bouquets is an artist, musician, and the founder of Bad Vibes Good Friends, a San Diego-based label and collective that has fostered a thriving underground music and arts scene since 2016.
