Afro-Andean Funk

Araceli Poma grew up in the Andes of Peru, in the house of her grandmother, Mamá Nieves — a community healer whose prayers and songs were the first music she ever knew. She migrated to New York and brought that inheritance with her.

Todo Migra — everything migrates — is a concert that moves the way memory moves: between the Andes and the African diaspora, between Quechua and English and Spanish, between the ritual and the dancefloor. Led by Poma and New York bassist-producer Matt Geraghty, the two-time Latin Grammy–nominated ensemble Afro-Andean Funk weaves Andean melody, Afro-Peruvian rhythm, jazz improvisation, and funk into something that feels ancient and completely alive.
