About this Performance
Helado Negro’s experimental pop has been hailed by Pitchfork for having “the breeziest vibe in town.” Reyna Tropical’s Afro-Indigenous drum patterns and environmental samples give their music a rhythmic, hip-swaying tropical feel. The two acclaimed artists come together as Helado Tropical, channeling their sun-drenched tenderness into sound. Built from guitars, drum machines, and synths, their nine-song collaborative album Helado Tropical lives somewhere between ambient and rhythmic, intimate and expansive. Together, they resist expectations on what Latin music should sound like, how it should feel, and what stories it should tell.
