On July 18, the acclaimed Peruvian group Novalima captivated audiences in Berlin with its unique blend of Afro-Peruvian rhythms during the "Sonic Pluriverse 2025" festival, a multicultural event organized by the Haus der Kulturen der Welt (HKW).

The Embassy of Peru in Germany promoted Novalima's participation and supported the cultural festival.

The fusion of Afro-Peruvian music with electronic and other contemporary genres formed the Peruvian group's repertoire.

The use of traditional Peruvian instruments such as the cajon and quijada also stood out.


The artists signed autographs and shared their musical style with attendees, expressing their satisfaction and pride in bringing Peruvian music to the international stage on this occasion.

The "Sonic Pluriverse 2025" festival began on June 27 and will conclude on August 2.

This year's edition focuses on "bass culture," a musical phenomenon that fosters intercultural dialogue on a global scale.

In addition to daily concerts featuring bands from around the world, the program is complemented by a variety of artistic and cultural activities.
