The listening room
by Loly Roots
Loly Bonilla is a Colombian artist and vinyl selector based in New York, where music is a central part of her daily life and artistic practice.
Loly’s musical selections draw from salsa, tropical roots, psychedelic sounds, rock, and other hidden gems from her personal collection. Always diverse, exciting and unexpected, Loly has a natural tendency to connect with her audience and listeners through these musical memories, emotions and shared nostalgia.
Over the last several years, Loly has performed at established, cultural venues like Lincoln Center and BAM, as well as in dozens of local bars and clubs throughout New York City. Loly also hosts a radio show on Queens-based Los Herederos Radio focused primarily on psychedelic music, as well as pop-up event-only “Listening Sessions” for a more intimate experience. As a promoter and organizer, Loly is a key figure in the creation of Discolocas and Barrio Collective. Since their inception, both of these collectives have been dedicated to creating safe spaces for small communities through their love of music and art.
