Kali Uchis, Gabriel Garzon-Montano

When: Sat., Oct. 6, 8 p.m. 2018

With a lush and resonant alto that has drawn comparisons to Billie Holiday and Brazilian chanteuse Flora Purim, and trenchant lyrics about class and corruption that harken to MIA, Columbian-American Uchis is not your average pop-soul songbird. With collaborators ranging from Snoop Dog to Gorillaz, Uchis draws from an eclectic grab bag of reggaeton, funk, R&B and Brazilian jazz to craft catchy tunes that are breezy, melancholy, empowering and sultry — often in the space of a single song.
