There’s never been a better time to get out of Florida, but if you can’t leave, Astropical can at least set your mind free.

The world-pop supergroup is made up of musicians from Colombian cumbia-delic-tronic duo Bomba Estéreo and Rawayana, a trippy world-pop band from Venezuela.

A new single from the project, “Me Pasa (Piscis)” is an afro-pop gem that sounds like it was born on the shores of Santa Marta where the beach lives in the shadows of the Sierra Nevada mountains.

On the road behind self-titled album released last March, Bomba vocalist Li Saumet promises that the Astropical show will be a counter to the darkness outside.

“All of the songs on this album are very positive; they’re meant to lift people’s minds and spirits,” she recently told NPR in Spanish. The globetrotting theme runs throughout the bill, with trilingual Dominican-Italian songwriter Yendry Fiorentino opening the show.

Tickets to see Astropical play the BayCare Sound in Clearwater on Sunday, Aug. 24 are still available and start at $84.50.
