In Venezuela, a BULULÚ is a vibrant, buzzing gathering that sparks excitement. It only takes a minute listening to BULULÚ to understand why they’ve adopted the name.
Led by Venezuelan-born percussionist, composer, and vocalist Lali Mejia, BULULÚ draws inspiration from the folkloric rhythms of Venezuelan, Colombian, Puerto Rican, Cuban, and other Caribbean cultures.
BULULÚ’s performances encompass an exciting mix of styles, ranging from calypso and salsa to cumbia, son, guaracha, merengue, bachata, joropo and more. The band stands out not only for its rich musical diversity and original repertoire but also for its inclusive identity, embracing the LGBTQ+ community, and a majority of female band members.
