Rawayana and Bomba Estéreo Plot First Tour as a Supergroup: ‘A More Experimental and Collaborative Space' (EXCLUSIVE)
The Colombian duo Bomba Estéreo, and recent Grammy winners Rawayana, will soon head out on their first tour as a supergroup. The tour will take both bands across the United States and Canada for 16 shows in support of the release of their self-titled debut album.
'I'm really pleased and happy with this project,' Bomba Estéreo's Li Saumet tells Variety. 'It's new and exciting and it gives me the opportunity to add new things to my performance — new characters, new sides of myself — that push me to leave comfort zone and enter a more experimental and collaborative space.'
