Artist Snapshot
A singer-songwriter from La Guajira, Colombia, Alea, has an alternative Latin style and is highly praised at her live shows for moving her audiences with messages of the spirit, politics, and love. Her contemporary performances portray an entire generation of new ethno-futuristic and folkloric music accentuated by buttery vocals, deep-rooted grooves, and holistic guitar conversations. Her vision brings music from all parts of Latin America, adds Pop, Jazz, urban afro beats and breaks through the usual models of what we define Latin music to be. Walking the line between Cumbia, Vallenato, Rancheras, Jazz, and Pop makes possible her diverse soundscape with that New York City edge.
