An electrifying mix of Cuban timba, Afro Colombian folklore, jazz, and dance music, Los Transplantes are here to present a bold new soundtrack for the real all American diaspora. In the current political climate, so increasingly afflicted by cultural division, this band defies hate and instead focuses on unification amongst all people. Spreading a message of hope, resilience, and love, Los Transplantes deliver their core statement through multiple languages: The earth belongs to all people, and unless you are Indigenous to the land you live on, then just like us, you are a transplant from somewhere too!
A compact yet powerful trio made up of pianist/vocalist Puli (Akana), bassist and vocalist Alex Dyring, and percussionist/vocalist Brahmi, Los Transplantes draw inspiration from the diverse musical and cultural backgrounds of each band member. Blending elements of hip-hop, cumbia, salsa, jazz, R&B, and countless other musical influences, they embody the spirit of New York City itself—a vibrant melting pot where cultures intersect, evolve, and thrive. Their music celebrates diversity, honors difference, and propels ancient tradition into a modern, energetic and accessible space for all.
With no lack of musical experience, all members of the band have built distinguished individual careers as highly sought-after collaborators, performing and recording alongside some of the world's most revered international, artists. Their collective credits include collaborations with the likes of Arturo Sandoval, Tony Perez (Irakere), José Alberto"El Canario", Xiomara Laugart, Beethova Obas and Yandel to name a few. In the short time that the band has officially been together, they've already grown a strong cult-like following across New York City and beyond proving that this is just the beginning. Sure to heat up any room in a matter of seconds with their infectious grooves and boisterous energy, it's impossible to not immediately agree that Los Transplantes, sin duda, están aquà para siempre.
