  • Music/Burgundee

    Burgundee, a living amalgamation of RnB, jazz, and neo-soul from Miami, FL, is a five-piece collective currently redefining the standards for both live & recorded music. The captivating vocal stylings of lead singer Beatriz Guzman are colored by the imaginative musical choices made by keyboardist Andrew Amengor and guitarist Sergio Zavala, while bassist Juan Moreno and drummer Victor Sanchez lay out their infectious grooves.

    Burgundee has deftly made a name for themselves in the Miami music scene by performing venues and events like: The Norton Museum of Art, Gramps, Sofar Sounds, Lagniappe, Bar Nancy, The Bridge, Breaking Sound, Doral Yard, The Gibson Room, The Sandbox, and many others.

    The band released their first EP "Reflections" in 2020, including "Things You Do," which carries more than half of the band's life-time streams. With a rapidly growing audience, Burgundee continues to work on new and ever-refreshing projects. Their new full album will be released on September 6, 2024! Stay tuned for new music and more exciting news!
