La Rumba Buena - April Edition (with special guest DJ Amir)

For our April edition of La Rumba Buena, we are super excited to be DJing alongside the highly respected crate digger, DJ extraordinaire, record label go-to-guy, DJ Amir! All the crate diggers out there will also recognize him as one-half of the internationally known duo, Kon & Amir! Although Amir is known around the world for his deep crates in funk, jazz, disco/boogie, and soul he is also a massive fan of Latin music and has just released a brand new compilation called "Buena Música Y Cultura." Ranging styles are on display here, but the record has a definite leaning toward Salsa Dura & Guaguancó and is a result of living and digging IN NYC for 22 years! Let's welcome our guest (coming all the way from Brooklyn) by showing him how La Rumba gets down. La Rumba Buena is a night dedicated to classic Latin sounds inspired by the salsatecas in Cali, Havana, and New York. No frills, pure vibes, and a non-stop dance floor open to anyone who catches the rhythm. La Rumba Buena just means a great party and ‘Rumber@s’ are people who love to dance. Expect to hear Salsa, Boogaloo, Cumbia, Guaguanco, Son, Rumba, Descargas, Mambo, Cha-Cha-Cha, Bomba, and Plena from the resident DJs. With a stack of vinyl collected over a decade from across the Americas, DJs Blancon and Drumspeak play out the sounds from the Latin Diaspora and bring La Rumba Buena to Toronto. There will also be live percussion to inspire all of you to connect with your inner rumber@! This is all going down at the Yauca’s Lounge on Dovercourt, just north of Bloor. Cover is $10 all night long. *We regret that Yauca's Lounge is not a fully accessible venue.
