Nevaris is a band from NYC led by percussionist Agustín Nevaris, who relocated to State College in 2021. The band brings funk, dub, and Afro-Latin grooves to the stage, with former Fela Kuti drummer Jojo Kuo behind the kit, alongside breakbeat specialist Lockatron. Agustin Nevaris provides vocals, congas, and keys, pulling from a catalog of four studio albums, including 2023’s “Reverberations,” produced by Bill Laswell and described by Carlos Santana as “supreme creativity”.
