- Afrobeat, Latin American rhythms and intense dance atmosphere
Caribbean rhythms and traditions are spiced up with Afrobeats, and playful mixes of old favorites and new discoveries create a scorching dance floor.
From the Colombian Caribbean coast comes DJ Bacalao , a musical explorer with a passion for Caribbean rhythms and their roots in African soundscapes. His sets unfold like narratives, taking the audience on a journey through vintage and alternative Afro-Caribbean grooves. Performing at festivals and stages in Colombia, France and Norway, Bacalao has thrilled dancers and listeners alike. Through infectious rhythms and carefully selected soundscapes, he invites everyone out onto the dance floor
Inspired by the spirit of the guajiro and the Afro-Caribbean heritage, the artivista Ekobio Guajiro Negro creates a musical journey where tradition meets urban life. Through the rhythms of the Colombian Caribbean coast, he explores memories, identity and his roots, building bridges between the sounds of cumbia, chandé and mapalé. This evening he shares the stage with DJ Bacalao, and together they mix traditional percussion with electronic sounds, creating a vibrant, rhythmic and energetic experience.
From rare curiosities to fresh new sounds, nothing is left to chance when DJ Songo sets the mood on the dance floor. Expect everything from psychedelic cumbia, cumbia rebajada and pure cumbia from the Caribbean and Amazon to salsa and bullerengue, where the common denominator is that the music is played in neighborhoods from high up in the Andes to the hot areas along the coast, and that the rhythms are created to wake up your hips.
Born into a Senegalese family, and shaped by her time living in South Africa and Tanzania, KhaDJ weaves together sounds that reflect where she has been and what moves her. Everything from afrobeats, afro house and other house is playfully mixed together, and where a soulful vocal can meet a deep, percussive groove, and old favorites are played side by side with new discoveries, most importantly of all it has a fierce drum beat.
