Black Lives Matter. Black Trans & Q***r Lives Matter. Though we’ve been vocal on our personal profiles, we want to put it here. there is a lot to say & a lot to do. as a collective of non-Black dj’s & culture workers, we want to acknowledge: without Black innovators & Black musicians, our field of work & our creative expression would not exist.

we are indebted to Black resilience & culture across las Ámericas.

As curators of this beautiful dance party, we acknowledge that popular tropical music genres, in large part, are the creations & innovations of Afro-Latinx people.

Cumbia is Black.
Reggaetón is Black.
Dancehall is Black.
Dembow is Black.
Perreo is Black.
Salsa is Black.
Baile Funk is Black.
Soca is Black.

solidarity to us looks like continuing our commitment to uplifting & acknowledging Black art in our craft & Black musicians in our communities. For the time being we will only be using this platform to and support the uprising happening in our community, in this country & around the world.

This is Latinx Census Week, an effort to encourage those in our community to participate in the census. Though government funding and representation are by no means a fix to all the problems we face, they are one part of the puzzle & the census is a big part of determining where resources flow.

Esteban from Census Counts will tune in to answer any Census-related questions. Repost a photo/story on Instagram of y'all with the for a chance to win a $25 gift card to a local restaurant! 🌵

We as a collective have been hit hard by having all of our gigs cancelled, as several of us are full-time artists and musicians. There are a lot of folks who need support right now––but If you’d like to help us get through, we’re accepting donations via Venmo to . 🙏🏽
