Alarma
Alarma is known for their one of a kind Neo-Latin sound and high-energy live performances, inventively mixing styles in Reggae, Cumbia, and EDM.
The lyrical undertone of self-empowerment, healing, unity and community transcends into human emotions connected by contagious groves/melodies that get the people moving/dancing in self-rediscovery and release.
With their bilingual English/Spanish style Alarma has been interviewed and their music played on many radio stations across the country while receiving many positive reviews from music sites/magazines. They have performed in many festivals numbering in the thousands of music fans.
With a live performance on Fox 11’s Good Day LA and more new song releases coming out soon, this band is taking their sound out to the world.
