Alea

Colombian-born singer, composer, and musician Alea creates a sound that celebrates Latin America while creating new definitions of what “Latin Alternative” can be. After a rousing concert in Armor Hall in March 2023 that got the audience on their feet and swaying their hips, Alea brings her live performance outdoors to Wave Hill’s Great Lawn in honor of the garden’s 60th anniversary. Her music combines her rich and diverse afro-indigenous background and her experience with wide-ranging musical landscapes, embracing cumbia, vallenato, rancheras, pop, and jazz. Alea's latest album, 2021’s Alborotá, was shortlisted as among the Best Latin Music of the year by both Rolling Stone and NPR. The singer-songwriter will move you with messages of the spirit, buttery vocals, deep-rooted grooves, and uplifting guitar. Registration not required for this drop-in event. In the case of inclement weather, this event will move to Armor Hall in Wave Hill House. Capacity there is limited and guests will be accommodated on a first-come, first-serve basis.
