Live set by PULI & HIS CALAVERAS
Juan F. Pulido’s (aka PULI) music is all about creating inclusive, fun, and danceable spaces. His sound blends jazz, Colombian and Cuban traditions, urban music, and Andean influences, moving away from intellectualism and focusing instead on connection and energy. Through experimental sounds, rap, Cuban pregones, and powerful tumbaos, he builds a musical world that feels fresh, human, and alive. This is not jazz anymore.
