Esotérica Tropical at Open Doors doors open at 6:30pm concert starts at 7pm $20-$40 sliding scale NOTAFLOF Esotérica Tropical transcends musical boundaries with her commanding voice, harp, and fusion of Bomba rhythms with electronic production. Her self-titled debut album was named Best Bay Area Music of 2024 by KQED, KALW, and White Crate. Her work boldly challenges colonial mentality, advocating for sovereignty and surrealism. A chance encounter with a Celtic harp on a Puerto Rican beach in 2009 transformed her from an acupuncturist into a genre-defying musical magician. Drawing on 20 years as a traditional medicine practitioner, Esotérica’s ritualistic performances have captivated audiences at major venues and festivals worldwide including Brava Theater, The Chapel, MACLA, Oakland Museum of California, SOMArts, Teatro Municipal de Cusco, Festival Color Caribe, Teatro el Supremo, and el Fiestón Cultural del Instituto de Cultura de PR. She has collaborated with Chancha Via Circuito, Tune-Yards, and Populous, amongst others. Her music is rooted in a continuous process of discovery and care, where trauma is transformed into art. https://www.esotericatropical.com/ https://www.esotericatropical.com/videos https://www.instagram.com/esotericatropical/ OPEN DOORS is a community space for healing, music, love, and ELEVATION.
