Nahlla: Latin Surrealism
"An authentic Latino show, beautifully staged, featuring powerful music and captivating dance that ignite passion, celebrate culture, and deliver a vibrant, unforgettable live show experience." — Zhao Liang, Co-CEO Nexus Arts
An immersive live music experience and a journey of roots, rhythm, and resilience. The show explores a transformative path inspired by Chía, the Muisca Indigenous goddess of the moon, and embraces Surrealism to express emotions without limits.
It features a full live band with 5 artists on stage, blending ancestral rhythms like Cumbia, Bambuco, and Bullerengue with Merengue, Salsa, Bolero, Latin pop, and rock. The setting celebrates the shared biodiversity of Colombia and Australia, multiculturalism, women’s empowerment, and connection through community and hope.
