INSTITUT 011 | vintage vinyl | JUANA GO-GO

Latin funk, soul, cumbia, salsa and global rhythms — sonic journeys that connect memory, diaspora and movement.

Vol 11: JUANA GO-GÓ closes the night — sets that move as travesías sonoras, weaving together rare vinyl finds and global rhythms into something archival and alive.

This is the closing set of VOLUME 11 of the INSTITUT experiment. Every week, a different hypothesis. Underground at 620 Spadina Ave - around the back, through the lot to the steel doors, down the stairs, past the mechanical room, through the swinging wood laminate door...

Come earlier for PAJAROS KILTROS at 9PM, TOLEDANO at 7PM, or the panel TANGO, FEVER, PAINT at 5PM. But RSVP even though it's PWYC so we know who to expect.

JUANA GO-GÓ is a Toronto-based DJ, vinyl selector and cultural curator known for crafting immersive dance floor experiences rooted in Latin and global sounds. Her sets move as travesías sonoras — sonic journeys that connect memory, diaspora and movement — weaving together Latin funk, soul, cumbia, salsa and global rhythms into dynamic, genre-fluid sets. She is the co-founder of Sonic Sancocho, a hybrid platform and radio show that brings together live music, DJ culture and community ritual. Whether behind the decks or on the airwaves, Juana Go-Gó is driven by a belief in music as a tool for connection — bridging cultures, generations and geographies through rhythm and shared experience.
