She's the trendsetter of #neoperreo, a whole new movement dreaming up the future of reggaetón against all odds and masculine macho stereotypes. She's Tomasa del Real, and we bring her all the way from #planetmusic's sunny Chili, for a unique Belgian concert. ② Pedrolito Radioglobal (guest dj ○ Muevelo Paris) ▷ mixcloud.com/Pedrolito Guest dj Pedrolito Radioglobal will fire up the party after the Tomasa Del Real concert. He's a tropical bass DJ with a natural love for cumbia nueva, dembow, afrotrap and reggaetón. He started up the Muevelo parties in Paris and shared stages with Sergent Garcia, Miss Bolivia, Dengue Dengue Dengue and UPROOT ANDY. ③ Mnsr Zéro (host dj-set ○ resident binair01) ▷ mixcloud.com/mnsr_zér0 Mnsr zér0's sets are surprising blends of the latest innovative cross-over partysounds from all corners of our planet. Think exciting tropical bass from the hottest areas around the equator, deep and low trap between South-Africa, Barcelona and Argentina, Arab dabke from Beirut's pulsing nightclubs, Belgrado's evolutions of crazy balkan and gipsystyle dancing, swingrhythms mixed up with Scandinavian rap, AfroLatin grooves like reggaetón, electrocumbia or faster kuduro- and afrobeats. The list of names and styles is endless, we'd rather call it move-your-body music; an elixir through dancing. His mixes are a real relief for people addicted to dancing and searching for challenges beyond the simple beats of shallow radio hit music. ④ Danceworkshop ▷ vimeo.com/104390317 Danceworkshop urban hip-hop and reggaetón by the master dance and choreography Abdel Temsamani, who belongs to the top of the Belgian urban hip-hop scene. As a teacher hip-hop and salsaton at Danshuis De Ingang he's your perfect guide to learn these damn hot dembow moves! ⑤ Performances & expo Bird The Royal Artist exposed/worked earlier a.o. at Kunstencentrum Vooruit and SMAK Gent. He will show his works in the Foyer from 20:00 until 21:30. Spoken word by Joris Pinseel, who participated recently at the Belgian Championship Poetry Slam. The light & dance performance by Nila HoOp & Eugaloop will be a mysterious show with hipshaking puppets. We cannot say more! ◖HOW TO GET THERE◗ ○ Address Dok-Noord 4, 9000 Gent ○ By bike or on foot Entrance at Sint-Salvatorstraat 16, 9000 Gent.
