Performer BIOS
In Venezuela, a BULULÚ is a vibrant, buzzing gathering that sparks excitement. It only takes a minute listening to BULULÚ to understand why they’ve adopted the name.
Led by Venezuelan-born percussionist, composer, and vocalist Lali Mejia, BULULÚ draws inspiration from the folkloric rhythms of Venezuelan, Colombian, Puerto Rican, Cuban, and other Caribbean cultures.
BULULÚ’s performances encompass an exciting mix of styles, ranging from calypso and salsa to cumbia, son, guaracha, merengue, bachata, joropo, and more. The band stands out not only for its rich musical diversity and original repertoire, but also for its inclusive identity, embracing the LGBTQ+ community and a majority of female band members.
Danaite is a dancer based in the Bay Area. She was born and raised in Ethiopia, where she learned her love for dance, music, and culture. After moving to the United States, she continued her love for dance by joining multiple companies that helped shape her mind-set around dance. Now, she shares what she has learned from and about dance through her passion for Afro Dance.
Bay Area native Artist and DJ, Jazmin LaBrie, curates ethereal soundscapes that levitate the spirit and move the body. With a deep love for Afrobeats, old-school R&B, and underground rave energy, she seamlessly blends genres into unforgettable sets that bridge fashion, art, and nightlife.
