Madera Once 8PM. Angel Sierra 8:45PM. Lester Rey 9:45PM.Angel Sierra is a Puerto Rican artist who bridges the cultural divides between contemporary North American music production and Caribbean rhythms and soul. His work is characterized by genre fusion, rich collaborations, and a unique artistic style that captivates audiences of different backgrounds. A graduate of the Chicago Academy for the Arts and Berklee College of Music, Angel Sierra returned to his homeland in 2019. Before embarking on his solo career, he released an album titled “Vidas Pasadas” under the name “Shula,” collaborating with a unique selection of artists from Puerto Rico. In April 2023, Angel launched his first solo single, “Te Cuido.” This track became the lead single of his EP, “Aprendiendo a Vivir,” where he delves into personal themes like love and intimacy within his sonic journey. Madera Once is a four-piece band that pays tribute to Mexican-regional and traditional music with a contemporary spin. Based out of Chicago, Illinois, Madera Once's mission is to keep Mexican and Latin American music alive as it forges a new identity through the musician and audiences within the United States. Madera Once has had the privilege of playing throughout Chicago, most notably in September 2019 they opened for La Santa Cecilia at the Concord Theater. Madera Once has also graced many of the notable stages in Chicago such as the Green Mill, The Jay Pritzker Pavilion and Mole de Mayo in Chicago.Their debut EP: amado. was released in 2019. Madera Once is currently writing their follow-up EP that still needs to be named. Madera Once is primarily made up of Jose Alfredo Guerrero (vocals/guitar), Mario Hernandez (bass), Alex Tellez (drums/percussion), and Javier Martinez (accordion, requinto, guitar). Lester Rey tiene la Salsa pa' tu Rave, el Juketeo pa' tu Perreo, y los Boleros pa tus feels.​Expanding upon the cultural psyche that is Latin music by diving head first into the intersections and nuances of identity, Lester Rey fearlessly searches for the divine in the spaces between the gritty club bass and the beautiful Caribbean rhythms. Exploring personal relationships, questioning norms, and pushing boundaries both in lyrical content and delivery, their music teases amalgamations of crooning, chanteo, and shatta flow. Vocal styles found in R&B, Reggaeton, and Dance Hall. The global, sonic landscape Lester Rey creates is informed by the concrete jungles of Chicago, the tropical island of Puerto Rico, and evolves further with the spirit in the machine of the internet.Lester Rey defines his catchy, eccentric, and honest sound as a creation that taps into the knowledge "de aqui y de alla" to create a world "ni de aqui y ni de alla" (the knowledge from here and from there to create a world neither from here or from there). A new home for people who feel forgotten, displaced, and left behind to survive between the cracks. A proclamation, a stance to declare our existence and worth in a post colonial matrix.
