About Rawayana
Rawayana formed in Caracas in 2007 and spent years building a following across Latin America with a loose, sunny style the band calls trippy pop, a blend of reggae, funk, rock, and Caribbean rhythms delivered with a strong sense of humor. Singer Alberto “Beto” Montenegro leads the group, and the band’s playful songs and videos have made it one of the most recognizable names in Venezuelan pop.
Their breakthrough on the global stage came with the 2023 album ¿Quién Trae las Cornetas?, which won the Grammy for Best Latin Rock or Alternative Album at the 67th Grammy Awards in February 2025. In his acceptance speech, Montenegro dedicated the win to Venezuela and shouted out fellow Venezuelan artists. The band followed it with ASTROPICAL, a joint project with Colombia’s Bomba Estéreo that earned another Grammy nomination.
Austin’s Latin music audience has been turning out in big numbers at the Moody this year, from regional Mexican acts like Grupo Duelo at ACL Live to alternative and pop bands from across the hemisphere. Rawayana’s current tour stretches across more than a dozen countries, and its Texas swing also includes a stop in Houston.
Rawayana concerts tend to feel more like a block party than a rock show, with plenty of dancing and crowd singalongs. Get your tickets on StubHub before the floor fills up.
Doors typically open an hour before showtime. Sunday nights downtown are a little calmer than weekends, but parking near Second Street still fills up on show nights, so arrive early or plan on a rideshare.
