Yesterday and Today: An Evening to Remember
On Sunday, September 22, Casa Karma, one of Puerto Vallarta’s most prestigious venues, will host a magical evening of music titled “Yesterday and Today,” featuring the extraordinary talents of Kimberly G and Joanna Woon (known professionally as J0). Nestled in the exclusive Conchas Chinas neighborhood, this luxurious oceanfront villa has become synonymous with both elegance and a deep commitment to nurturing local artistry. Together, Kimberly and Joanna will take their audience on a journey through time, blending timeless classics with contemporary hits in a captivating musical showcase.
A Musical Journey from “Yesterday” to “Today”
The show’s concept is simple yet powerful: Kimberly G will perform beloved classics, taking the audience back to the golden eras of music, while Joanna Woon breathes fresh life into modern songs with her soulful voice and interpretations. The combination of their distinct musical styles promises an unforgettable evening, as they weave together the best of both the past and present.
Kimberly G, known for her versatile blend of jazz, country, and standards, is a beloved figure in Puerto Vallarta’s music scene. Her performances evoke a sense of nostalgia, bringing cherished melodies from yesteryear to life with grace and passion. As she explains, “There’s something so special about singing the songs that have stood the test of time. They connect us to our past, to memories, and to moments that shape who we are. I love being able to bring those songs back to life in a way that resonates with today’s audience.”
By contrast, Joanna Woon, a Malaysian-born musician known for her soulful vocals and contemporary edge, adds a modern flair to the evening. Her performances of today’s hits are infused with a jazzy twist, making familiar songs feel new and alive. Joanna’s musical journey, which spans genres from classical piano to rock, has found a perfect home in Puerto Vallarta, where she feels her music has truly flourished.
“I love making music in Vallarta because it brings people of different backgrounds and personalities together,” Joanna shared when asked about performing in the city. “There’s an energy of inspiration here that brings out the best in people. It’s a safe space for my music to grow, and that’s something I’ve never experienced anywhere else in all my travels.”
The Casa Karma Experience
For both artists, Casa Karma provides a unique and intimate setting for their performances. Kimberly G, who has performed at the venue previously, recalls the elegance and warmth of the space. “Casa Karma is absolutely amazing to me,” she says. “A good friend of mine once told me it’s like Puerto Vallarta’s Carnegie Hall, and she was so right. The posh elegance of Casa Karma cannot be overstated. It’s truly a beautiful place to perform.”
Joanna Woon, who will be making her Casa Karma debut, is equally excited about the opportunity. “I’ve heard nothing but wonderful things about Casa Karma,” she said. “Everyone I’ve spoken to describes it as an incredible space with amazing energy. I’m really looking forward to finally experiencing it for myself and sharing that energy with the audience.”
Located in the heart of Conchas Chinas, Casa Karma has long been a jewel of Puerto Vallarta’s artistic community. The venue, owned by Georgia Darehshori, has hosted countless memorable performances in its intimate, air-conditioned setting. According to Georgia, the magic of Casa Karma lies in its ability to create a space where performers and audiences alike can connect on a deeper level.
“I’ve had the pleasure of hosting a select group of exceptional local performers in the intimate setting of Casa Karma,” says Darehshori. “They showcased their immense talents to a small but appreciative audience, creating their own mini businesses and retaining all the proceeds from their ticket sales. It’s been an incredible journey watching these performers grow and seeing the overwhelming support they receive.”
Casa Karma’s commitment to the arts has led to numerous sold-out events, even during Puerto Vallarta’s low season. The venue has proven that quality performances can draw crowds all year round, and “Yesterday and Today” is set to continue this tradition.
A Show Not to Be Missed
The upcoming performance promises to be a truly unique experience, showcasing the contrast and harmony between the timeless and the modern. For those who appreciate classic tunes from the past, Kimberly G will transport them back to a world of beloved melodies. At the same time, Joanna Woon will offer a fresh perspective on today’s hits, creating an engaging dialogue between musical eras.
Whether you are a fan of jazz standards, country ballads, or contemporary pop, this performance has something for everyone. The fusion of Kimberly’s nostalgic renditions with Joanna’s modern interpretations ensures a diverse and captivating show that will leave the audience both nostalgic and inspired.
