This Sunday, Ulldecona will host a dual musical event at the Ermita de la Pietat, featuring performances that blend Afro-Caribbean rhythms with electronic sounds.

The musical event will kick off at 8:00 PM with an entrance fee of 10 euros. The first performance will be by Meli Perea, a Catalan-Colombian project known for its continuously growing style. The band merges Afro-Caribbean roots with contemporary electronic sounds and freestyle, characterized by its rhythmic intensity, cultural identity, and social commitment.
Following this, the band of Puerto Rican singer Marina Molina will perform. Their debut album, released last March, explores the fusion of the bomba genre with other Afro-Caribbean sounds, incorporating elements such as African guitars, steel guitar, wurlitzer, accordion, and a wide array of percussion.
The musical experience will conclude with sets by DJ John Deere Tropic Session DJ and DJ Benja, bringing a vibrant night dedicated to rhythms and cultural identity to a close.
