City Winery Philadelphia Presents Los Rolling Ruanas & Caravanchela live on February 2nd at 7:30pm
Based in the buzzing and exciting city of Bogotá, Colombia. Los Rolling Ruanas started in 2014 with Juan Diego Moreno (vocals and Guacharaca), Fernando Cely (Requinto), Luis Guillermo González (Guitar) and Jorge Mario Vinasco (Tiple).
During their first year, they decided to upload singular versions of The Beatles, Kiss and The Rolling Stones in their unique style to YouTube - not knowing that they would become a viral phenomenon in late 2015.
YouTube served as a platform to make their first EP of original songs in 2016. In 2017, they released their first LP feature entitled 'La balada del carranguero'.
Caravanchela is a Colombian band with alternative pop and funk sounds - naming them 'Funky Feeling' with which you're definitely gonna dance. Two studio albums and an EP have them touring in México, US, Costa Rica and Colombia in important festivals such as Summerfest, Rock Al Parque and SXSW. In 2024 they're presenting their third album and will be touring in Mexico, Colombia and the US.

Strings and Tango
Take in the traditional and ignite under the unconventional with a mash-up of the centuries! Astor Piazzolla reimagined Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons with a unique Argentinian twist that will have you dancing in your seat. Experience a Philadelphia Orchestra concert that takes you inside the music, with projection screens showing you the performers up close and sharing the fascinating backstories behind the music being performed.
Join us in the plaza before the concert for live Brazilian music performed by Ernesto’s Club and a mini tango lesson by Andres Amarilla of the Philadelphia Argentine Tango School Performance, and hang out after the Orchestra performance to hear from your own GRAMMY-winning musicians.
Join the Philadelphia Freedom Band for our winter concert celebrating our 15th anniversary on Sunday, January 28th at 4pm!
Our program will be an aural walk down memory lane, featuring some of the band members’ most beloved pieces from high school and college. Perennial staples in the literature, such as Bernstein’s Overture to Candide, De Meij’s The Hobbits, and Shostakovich’s Festive Overture will make their PFB premiere alongside some lesser-known genre gems.
General admission tickets are $20. If you are able, please consider adding an extra donation during checkout to help support the band and subsidize tickets for those who cannot afford one. Revenue from this concert funds our weekly music practices, allows us to purchase music and instruments, and helps us pay our wonderful staff members – thank you for your support!
We'll also be selling new merch and raffling off a range of exciting prizes.
