Carolina Oliveros is an artist from Barranquilla, Colombia based in Brooklyn whose voice is channeled from another dimension. Known for her ferocious energy as the voice of the cosmic group Combo Chimbita, as well as founder and driving force in the Bullerengue fusion group Bulla En El Barrio, her solo project dives deeper into the primal power of her roots—but with a raw, unfiltered edge.

Her solo work is wild and uncompromising, where ancient rhythms meet a rebellious heart, forging a sound that feels as dangerous as it is captivating.

This isn’t just a step outside of what she's previously done—it’s a full-throttle dive into the soul of her Afro-Caribbean heritage, filtered through a radical sensibility. Oliveros takes the traditional sounds of her ancestors and pushes them to the brink, blending hypnotic chants with pulsating beats, making music that’s gritty, mystical, and fiercely alive.

Her voice is a visceral force, moving between the sacred and the chaotic, a call to both celebration and resistance. In her solo performances, Oliveros commands the stage, a high priestess of sound, drawing the audience into her world of deep ancestral rhythms and future-shaping experimentation.

She turns the raw energy of traditional drums and haunting melodies into something transcendent, yet defiant. This project is not just an exploration—it’s an upheaval of the past and future, channeled through the unstoppable force that is Carolina Oliveros.
