Celebrate The Back Room’s 10-year anniversary in style—sink into your favorite couch, BYOB, and toast to a night of unforgettable live music as Bululú returns for their third consecutive year. This special evening features a thoughtfully curated selection of boleros, romantic ballads, sones, and other Latin American classics, all set within the warm, intimate atmosphere of this legendary venue.
Bululú is a vibrant Latin music ensemble celebrated for their original repertoire rooted in the folkloric traditions of Venezuela, Colombia, Puerto Rico, Cuba, and the broader Caribbean. Their sound is a lively fusion of salsa, calypso, cumbia, merengue, boogaloo, bachata, son, and more—delivering a rich, rhythmic journey that invites you to move, reminisce, and celebrate.

Lali Mejia: Band leader, percussion, vocals
Karla Lozada: Lead vocals
Grace Guerrero: Lead vocals
