This People’s Mic features: Alarma!
Alarma is a world music indie rock band blending music styles. Danceable, melodic and sending out a positive message, the group was formed in Lincoln Heights, California. Known for their unique sound and high-energy live performances, the band incorporates styles in Cumbia, Reggae, Ska, African, Middle Eastern, and Flamenco fuses them with rock and electronic music.
Alarma has been interviewed on LA’s KPFK and has been played on a number of internet radio stations across the country. They have played the Gorilla Music Battle of the Bands finals, the Lummis Day Festival in Los Angeles, large city community concerts and a few colleges/universities.
With a self-titled EP, a live performance on Fox 11’s Good Day LA, and their most recent self-released full-length album “Ripe Conditions”, this LA band is taking their sound and message out to the world
