PLATILLO is an energetic duo project by DJ RAQX and Colum Enrique, two New York City born-and-raised Latinx artists, focused on adding organic live instrumentals to traditional DJ sets. The duo’s sound reflects both musicians’ love for Afro-Latin, soul, and house genres, blended seamlessly over a bedrock of live drums and hand percussion. PLATILLO sets are meant to provide live entertainment and fresh improvisation for those who love to dance.
