Neblinas del Pacifico

Neblinas del Pacífico weaves a sonic tapestry of marimba de chonta music from the Afro-Colombian Pacific coast: music of rivers and mangroves, of percussive polyrhythms and multi-part harmonies, of spirituality and everyday life, of ancestors and tradition, of celebration, rebellion, and resistance. Based in La Mission and East Oakland, the members of Neblinas have roots in Colombia, Indonesia, and China. They’ve collaborated with Acción Latina, People’s Kitchen Collective, Youth Speaks, Colectivo Colombia Resiste, Fred Moten, Guache, and the Matatu Festival, among others, as well as the vibrant community of musicians in La Mission. Neblinas del Pacífico partners with and contributes 50% of all proceeds to Black-led grassroots community initiatives in Buenaventura, Guapi, Timbiquí, Tumaco, Quibdó, and Cali, Colombia.
