Nahlla: Latin Surrealism
An immersive live music experience inspired by Chía, the Muisca Indigenous goddess of the moon, and the shared biodiversity of Colombia and Australia. Led by Colombian artist Nahlla, alongside a four-piece live band and two dancers, the performance blends Latin American rhythms—cumbia, salsa, bolero, bambuco, and merengue—with contemporary experimental pop and rock. Through symbolic poetry, movement, and rhythm, it celebrates women’s empowerment, multicultural identity, and the power of art to create human connection, resilience, and hope.
Presented by: Nahlla Barbosa
Nahlla is a Colombian singer-songwriter and performer based in Adelaide, Australia. Her music transforms pain into expression, weaving stories of resilience, identity, and healing. Blending Latin folk rhythms — cumbia, bambuco, merengue, salsa, son cubano, bolero, and Latin jazz — with pop and experimental sounds, she creates an authentic and emotional fusion. Nahlla collaborates with Mariposa Trails on suicide prevention, performed at the National Suicide Prevention Conference 2024, awarded Students Got Talent 2023, and was selected for Nexus Arts Interplay 2025 and the Adelaide Fringe Cultivate residency. Her art celebrates hope, empowerment, migration, and the strength of human connection.
