Neblinas del Pacífico hail from Colombia, California, and Canada/Holland/Indonesia, and are based between the Mission District and East Oakland. They are associated with several musical projects such as the Golden Circle Sextet, La Pelanga, Calmao, and Mojarra Frita. They are one of the first U.S.-based groups to bring the marimba de chonta musical tradition from the Afro-Colombian Pacífico to the U.S. Pacific Coast.
