Secret Planet Presents Romperayo and WAYTA at Lamont Plaza in Mt Pleasant

Don't miss ROMPERAYO live and direct from Bogota, Colombia this Sunday Aug 24 with WAYTA in Lamont Plaza in Mt Pleasant. FREE & ALL AGES matinee 3PM!

Join us for a double header Sunday matinee show live and FREE in the Plaza, presented by Secret Planet productions and the Friends of the Mt Pleasant Library! And, of course, your favorite librarians will be there to tell you all about the reopening of the Mt. Pleasant branch and to sign you up for your library cards, spread the good word about programs, etc.

ROMPERAYO, led by drummer Pedro Ojeda, is one of the Colombian bands redefining the new Tropical sound out of Bogotá, along with Meridian Brothers, Frente Cumbiero and Los Pirañas - and it is no to coincidence that Pedro should be involved with 3 out of those 4 bands. A virtuoso drummer and percussionist who remains firmly rooted in tropical dance rhythms, Pedro mixes sounds from both Colombian coasts with accordion and light electronic elements. Romperayo has been touring Europe and South America for over a decade, but this is their first U.S. tour.

WAYTA is an ANDEAN music duo based in DC comprised some of the most treasured musicians in the DMV. Their music cannot be separated from resistance culture giving a voice to their ancestors and those vulnerable, marginalized and discriminated among us.
