NEBLINAS DEL PACIFICO (@neblinasdelpacifico) is a band of marimba de chonta music based in the Mission District of San Francisco. This musical tradition is born and rooted among the Black and Indigenous communities nestled along the rivers and mangroves on the Pacific Coast of Colombia and Ecuador. It’s music of spirituality and everyday life, roots and tradition, celebration and resistance. The members of Neblinas have ancestry in Colombia, Puerto Rico, Indonesia and beyond. They partner with Eryen Korath, Cantares del Pacífico, and numerous other Afro-Colombian musicians and organizers to support grassroots community initiatives in Buenaventura, Guapi, Timbiquí, Tumaco, and Quibdó. Neblinas del Pacífico play and share this music in the spirit of respect and solidarity with the maestrxs and communities who are its originators and keepers.
