Afro-Andean Funk

Based in NYC, Afro-Andean Funk is a Peruvian-American band nominated for a Latin Grammy. Led by singer Araceli Poma and producer/bassist Matt Geraghty, their music breaks cultural barriers by creating a powerful sound that blends traditional Andean music and sounds from the Afro-Peruvian scene combined with funk, rock, and West African rhythms. Formed in 2021, Afro-Andean Funk released their debut album, 'The Sacred Leaf' (2022), followed by the latest release, 'Flower on Fire' (2023). Both albums, featuring original compositions, address themes of social struggle, shamanic rituals, and cultural traditions. Their goal is to unite musical cultures and, most importantly, bring visibility to endangered indigenous languages, such as Quechua.
