Shangri-Lá is an upcoming electronic, independent rock band from Miami, FL, consisting of, Felix Ovalle (drums and synth), Carlos Sevilla (guitar, synth and vocals) and Mango Sterling (Vocals). These three strangers from three different parts of the world (Venezuela, Peru, and the Dominican Republic) came together to form a collective out of the box music experience, for a culture that seems to have forgotten their musical roots.
Even though the band is in its infancy they have performed live in many of Miami’s popular hot spots. Like, Kill Your Idol, Bardot, The Stage, and The Vagabond. Just recently they participated, in the international music festival Forever Fest sponsored by IROCKE.com. Their live set was broadcasted all around the globe from the Blackbird Ordinary stage in Downtown Miami, FL.
Shangri-Lá is due to release their first studio album later on this year. The lyrics of the album are laced with psychological theories, the guitar riffs are haunting and the drums carry the addictive heartbeat of the songs. The band uses the modern technology of synthesizers to unify these diverse music concepts with precision and charm. A recent Tropicult article said “Shangri-Lá rises to the top in a city full of cookie-cutter, mundane sparkly poppy keyboard fueled groups.”
The most pivotal aspect of creating music for Shangri-Lá is to connect with people in an authentic, profound way. To them creating music is their truest form of expression. As one can see, Shangri-Lá is a fully formed band rising from the ash like a phoenix, ready for its first flight.

The Spiracles is fresh, dynamic, indie pop between melancholic and happiness which seeks to conceal emotions through sensitive lyrics and sounds that often takes you to the dance floor.
