About

Opener: Jackie Mendoza

Helado Negro and Reyna Tropical—the musical projects of Roberto Carlos Lange and Fabi Reyna—come together for their first headline performance as Helado Tropical. Their music blends electronic textures, acoustic sounds, and bilingual songwriting while exploring memory, identity, and belonging.

Born from a shared studio session, the collaboration is shaped by movement, place, and personal history. The result is a musical world where atmosphere, rhythm, and storytelling converge, inviting listeners to experience a new creative partnership.
