In association with the Latin Alternative Music Conference (LAMC), SummerStage brings a pair of Spanish-language music acts that offer a taste of the best in contemporary Latin music to Central Park. Morat is a Latin GRAMMY-nominated Colombian band from Bogotá; they write nostalgic love songs that ache like classic boleros but draw from R&B, country, and power ballads. Since their 2015 breakout single that hit no. 1 in Spain (“Mi Nuevo Vicio”), they’ve cut four studio albums and collaborated with the likes of Antonio Carmona, Sebastián Yatra, and many others. Planta Industrial is a Bronx-born Dominican duo that consists of just two voices and a drum machine, yet brings enough energy to tear down walls. Their four-on-the-floor post-industrial dance punk puts a hard modern edge on retro sounds; rabble-rousing tracks like “OI” prove they were born to instigate. Argentine singer and influencer Yami Safdie brings her sweet Latin pop sound; her previous collab with Lasso on the song “En otra vida” gained her fans across the continent.
