I love the energy and force of music from these Venezuelan rockers! I discovered them from the Afropop Worldwide podcast when they were covering the LAMC. Afropop Worldwide is a radio show broadcast on many US public radio affiliates for decades now. Check out La Vido Bohème’s official video release for “Radio Capital” from Nacional Records at https://youtu.be/F9gb9SsO_O8
I believe they are touring with new music in 2023 from their newest release “Caribe Caribe” !
