::: La Rumba de la MUSA :::

La Rumba de la MUSA is a diasporic collective of artists who gather around the voice of the Caribbean drum. The multi-generational group counts members from Cuba, Puerto Rico, Chile, Panama, Colombia, and the US, and performs traditional Afro-Cuban rumba, a musical form with roots in the African and European musical traditions that coalesced in Cuba sometime around the end of the 19th century. Though there are strict rules that govern the structure of rumba, it is a highly improvisatory and nuanced musical form in which the singers, drummers, and dancers co-create each musical moment.

::: Gia Fu (Hong Kong) :::

Gia Fu is a DJ, selector and producer based in Hong Kong. She primarily focuses on digging and spinning Salsa and mambo gems everywhere she goes, also diving deep into all Afro-Latin music, disco and house grooves. She recently produced a Big-band Salsa album for Angel Meléndez in 2021 featuring over 30 artists including the likes of Tito Allen, Pulpo, Herman Olivera, Rico Walker & Primi Cruz among others.
