AMP is happy to welcome another exciting artist as part of the Center Stage program. Hit La Rosa will be doing an artist residency from June 14-19, kicking off on the Santa Fe Plaza and culminating at the FUSION Meadow.  

AMP Residencies provide artists an opportunity to perform several shows in New Mexico, visit schools, do workshops and get to know our beautiful state and people. These are great opportunities for the groups and for all of us!

The presentation is part of Center Stage, a public diplomacy initiative of the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, administered by the New England Foundation for the Arts in cooperation with the U.S. Regional Arts Organizations, with support from the Doris Duke Foundation for Islamic Art, and the Trust for Mutual Understanding. General management is provided by Lisa Booth Management, Inc.

Free! Make a reservation to get event updates and additional details.

One of Lima's leading indie bands, Hit La Rosa delivers tight sets of pulsing tropical beats, rolling surf sounds, and sly lyrics to heal what ails you. At the center is Cumbia, the sound and beat of a collision of various cultures, and the heartbeat of contemporary Peruvian music.

By turns precise and dreamy, Hit La Rosa plumbs cumbia and pop music, folklore, jazz, and dancehall, to produce its distinctive grooves and hooks. Add to this a punk sensibility designed to, as lead singer and primary lyricist Chaska Paucar puts it, "bring healing to people," by exploring, not shunning, life's shadowy sides.

"Our music has a bit of mystery with lots of supernatural and fantastic elements. It's about mind travel. You have this duality between dark and healing, experiences that are not comfortable but that everyone has to find their way through."
