La Gente is a Bay Area based group led by Colombian/Nicaraguan, San Francisco-

born, singer-songwriter Rafael Bustamante Sarria. La Gente is a cultural and musical
collective that has created their own unique Cali-fusion of Reggae, Salsa, Hip-Hop,
Cumbia, Rock, and Reggaeton. They perform a high-energy dance party with politically
and socially charged lyrics and feature a host of guest musicians and MC’s at every show.
They are MAPP regulars and Red Poppy favorites and have just recently returned to the
Bay Area after touring New Orleans and Austin, Texas. 1-LOVE

“It’s refreshing to watch a band draw an audience as eclectic as it’s music. It seemed no
one could sit still through the contagious beat and positive vibe, with lyrics touching
everything from racism and war to poverty and social class.” -Cassandra Braun, Contra
