About Parcha Projects
Inspired by the sonic collisions that blast from car stereos on the streets of New York and Puerto Rico, PARCHA is a platform for music lovers and music-makers to discover, support and present artists who move effortlessly between imagined borders of geography and genre, with Caribbean diasporic sounds as the spring board.
Founded by trusted music veteran Lia Camille Crockett, PARCHA has presented Daymé Arocena, Simon Mejia of Bomba Estereo, Los Rivera Destino, Combo Chimbita, David Rivera and more.
PARCHA produces concerts, festivals and residencies that support artists and build authentic, sustainable musical ecosystems for artists to thrive. PARCHA works with artists and organizations on music programming, producing, and communications strategy with special attention to the expansive sonic offerings of independent artists from the Caribbean and their diasporas.
