Rawayana land in Houston this November on the second leg of their ¿Dónde es el After? World Tour — a Grammy-winning Venezuelan quartet booking a 5,000-capacity room on a run that closes at Miami’s Kaseya Center in December. That trajectory tells you something. This is not a band testing a ceiling. They’ve already found it.
About Rawayana
They formed in Caracas in 2007 — Beto Montenegro, Tony Casas, Fofo Story, and Alejandro Abeijón — and spent years building a sound Montenegro calls “Venetón,” a word he coined for “that sophistication you feel when you see a brutalist building standing in the middle of the Venezuelan wilderness.” The music is tropical and danceable on the surface, but there’s structural weight underneath — reggae, psychedelic funk, house rhythms, and urban production, all running under a political urgency the band doesn’t dilute. Their 2023 album ¿Quién trae las cornetas? won the Grammy for Best Latin Rock or Alternative Album. After their song “Veneka” went viral in Venezuela, the Maduro regime forced the cancellation of a domestic tour. The band has been operating largely in exile since, making music that celebrates and protests in the same breath.
Their Tiny Desk Concert for NPR in September 2023 cleared 11 million views. Their eighth studio album, ¿Dónde Es El After? — released January 2026 — debuted No. 1 on Spotify’s Top Album Debuts USA and has logged over 80 million global streams. The single “Inglés en Miami” hit the top ten on the platform’s U.S. debut chart. This is the tour behind all of that.
About 713 Music Hall
713 Music Hall sits inside the POST Houston complex at 401 Franklin Street — a building that started as a train depot in 1934, served as the city’s U.S. Postal Service headquarters from 1961 on, and was redesigned by OMA, Rem Koolhaas’s firm, when it reopened in November 2021. Five thousand capacity, 90,000 square feet of flexible space, and a bones-deep industrial character that doesn’t feel accidental for a band who built their whole aesthetic on that exact friction — something hard and constructed lodged inside something irrepressible.
