As the summer moves on, more Puerto Rican indie musicians continue to emerge and release projects. Last Wednesday June 27th, alternative rock trio Alma Nebula continued to promote and celebrate the release of their first EP, “Laberintos & Dimensiones,” in Aguadilla’s 100 A Uno with their hometown crowd alongside fellow rock groups Cologne and Novaluna. (promo for the show as found Alma Nebula’s Facebook) As the crowd slowly arrived, the members of Cologne would get ready to set the mood for the night and as soon as the clock hit around 10:30 pm they did. Like in previous performances, Cologne managed to display their wide variety of influences such as indie rock, prog-rock and even a bit of punk rock proving that they are definitely one of the emerging bands to keep an eye out for in the near future when they release future singles, possible projects and continue performing around the island.

The short set of the masked musicians presented their ability to experiment with a variety of sounds while having fun. If you are listener who enjoys a good round of instrumental rock playing in the background, this group may just be one to look out for as they display promise in what seems to be one of their earlier performances.

Like many times before, the group managed to show their variety in a show where they showed their influences from music such as alternative rock, pop punk and a bit of swing music.

Furthermore, the performances by Cologne, Novaluna and Alma Nebula provided another escape for a community still in recovery and for the young at heart looking to have fun on a hot summer night.
