The Colombian-American singer put her smooth R&B sound on display on the second day of the music festival.
Kali Uchis brought her lush R&B sounds to Coachella, performing on the Main Stage alongside Omar Apollo, Tyler, the Creator, and others.
She took the stage from behind a flurry of feathers, singing “Telepata” atop a Greek column-flanked stage, evoking the dreamy aesthetic of her latest album Red Moon In Venus. There were a lot of people on the set.
Tyler, the Creator was the first to appear. Despite technical difficulties with his microphone, he continued to rap and dance with Uchis to “See You Again,” his Flower Boy song featuring Uchis. Apollo also performed “Worth the Wait,” a Red Moon In Venus collaboration, with Uchis, during which Apollo was treated to a lap dance by one of the performers.
Don Toliver, flanked by a hot pink backdrop, joined the party for “Fantasy,” where the two artists shared a dance.
Uchis performed a variety of songs from her catalog, including a reggaeton medley and one dedicated to her longtime fans. “I’m singing this for the people who’ve been with me on this journey, you know who you are,” she explained before breaking into “Melting” from Por Vida. During “Otra Vez,” she descended into the audience and began handing out high fives. She also performed an unreleased track from her upcoming Spanish-language album, “After the Storm,” and closed the set with “After the Storm,” her collaboration with Tyler, though he did not return for the finale.
It was technically Uchis’ second day at the festival, as she had stopped by Kaytranada’s set on Friday and assisted him in performing their Grammy-nominated single “10%,” despite mic issues.
