Afro-Andean Funk | Harmony Garden Music Festival

Fusing Afro-Andean Culture & The Indigenous Quechua Language with American Funk, Rock & World Music

2X Latin Grammy-Nominated Afro-Andean Funk is a groundbreaking band led by Peruvian singer Araceli Poma and American music producer/ bassist/ composer Matt Geraghty. Their unique blend of Afro-Andean roots, world music, and funk draws on themes of social struggle, shamanic rituals, and indigenous Peruvian traditions. With a mission to unite musical cultures and bring visibility to the Quechua language—the most widely spoken indigenous language in South America—their music bridges cultural and geographic divides.

Formed in 2021, Afro-Andean Funk quickly gained international acclaim. Their debut album, The Sacred Leaf (2022), earned a Latin Grammy nomination, followed by their 2023 release, Flower on Fire. In 2024, the band achieved new heights with an expansive touring schedule, performing at major festivals and venues across North America.
