Amancai // Colombian-born, DJ based in South London Amancai is a faithful advocate of South American music with a particular love for Afro-Caribbean music. She’s a regular at London’s Movimientos nights and never fails to swell the dance floor with blissful Latin sounds.

Nohelia // Nohelia is a Venezuelan DJ growing up listening to all sorts of Latinx music, particularly the rich musical offerings of Colombia. She started DJ-ing to bring us the Latinx sounds that were somewhat lacking in Bristol, and she will open the night celebrating the iconic, heartfelt, and uplifting sounds of cumbia, vallenato, and salsa.
