Aterciopelados, led by Andrea Echeverri and Héctor Buitrago, bring three decades of socially conscious rock fused with Latin rhythms. On this tour they celebrate La Pipa de la Paz — 30 Years with a set that balances electric immediacy and poetic lyricism. Support act Palenque La Papayera offers exuberant banda rooted in Caribbean mestizaje, communal dance and brass-driven textures. Together they create a festive, visceral dialogue where political urgency meets collective joy and movement.
British singer-songwriter Amaria BB brings a bold fusion of R&B, dancehall and contemporary pop to the GET OUT project. Her smoky vocals and syncopated rhythms mingle with tightly produced beats, while the evening’s DJs — Spice&Curls, Guessi, Senjadi and Bobby Melo — weave seamless transitions that keep the energy taut and immersive. The program highlights contrasts between introspective balladry and dancefloor-ready grooves, delivered with London grit and a playful, modern edge.
Violencia Rivas is a brazen stage persona created by Léa Pohlhammer that channels a fictional Argentine yéyé singer claiming to have invented punk in the late sixties.

Aline Courvoisier designs costumes and Danielle Milovic and Loane Ruga the lighting. Coproduction: F.A.B Force Prod., Venedig Meer.
