The beachy, Venezuelan quartet—which describes itself as a group that takes on a “distinctive fusion of reggae, funk, soul, rock, and Caribbean rhythms”—just played an NPR Tiny Desk set, a rite of passage for any band or artist trying to make it.

Following that and a handful of homecoming gigs, the band will kick off what appears to be its first-ever full U.S. tour in St. Pete, mostly featuring all-Spanish anthems, one of which references WikiLeaks theories while acknowledging that people should celebrate the day they were conceived, as well as respective birthdays.

Tickets to see Rawayana at St. Pete’s Jannus Live on Wednesday, Oct. 11 are still available, and cost $27.
