I'm gonna show you how guaracha and dabka are the perfect match.
My set is a wild mix of perreo, belly dance, passinhos, conga, with a dash of Moroccan QRQB and zaghrouta samples.
Got it? It’s like if a camel and a blue macaw became best friends and decided to spend Carnaval in Brasil.

I blend my Latin America roots with some MENA influences making you dance by pushing the boundaries from the southern world. And if by the end of the set you're thinking "what the f*ck was that?" my mission was accomplished!

Hailing from the Brazilian countryside, I like to call myself a global thinker and traveler—a researcher of the Latin American diaspora and a cultural dynamo.
My journey took me across Latin America, where I dove headfirst into the world of Latin rhythms. This adventure sparked my passion for becoming a DJ, aiming to celebrate Brazilian Latinidad through music. In 2020, I took my first steps into music production, collaborating with talented musicians from Mexico, Guatemala, Panama, Colombia, and Morocco for my debut EP.
Right now, I'm crafting my album, which weaves together Latin American and North African influences. It's all about fostering a decolonized, two-way connection between Brazil and Morocco, Latam and Mena.
In Morocco, where I currently live, I founded Soundsisters, the women DJ collective and booking/management agency. I roam the country, hosting workshops and events, all dedicated to supporting and empowering women in the electronic music scene.
(FR) Quelle est ma vibe ? Imaginez un délicieux mélange de perreo et de danse du ventre, épicé avec quelques rythmes de conga et de qrqb !
Originaire de la campagne brésilienne, j'aime me considérer comme une penseuse globale et une voyageuse—une chercheuse de la diaspora latino-américaine et une véritable force culturelle !
Mon voyage m'a emmenée à travers toute l'Amérique latine, où je me suis plongée dans l'univers des rythmes latins. Cette aventure a éveillé ma passion pour devenir DJ, avec pour mission de célébrer la latinidade brésilienne à travers la musique. En 2020, j'ai fait mes premiers pas dans la production musicale, en collaborant avec des musiciens talentueux du Mexique, du Guatemala, du Panama, de Colombie et du Maroc pour mon EP de début.
En ce moment, je crée mon album, qui tisse ensemble les influences vibrantes de l'Amérique latine et de l'Afrique du Nord. L'objectif est de promouvoir une connexion décolonisée et bilatérale entre le Brésil et le Maroc, Latam et Mena.
Au Maroc, où je vis actuellement, j'ai fondé Soundsisters, un collectif de DJ femmes et une agence de gestion et de booking. Je parcours le pays, organisant des ateliers et des événements, le tout dédié à soutenir et à autonomiser les femmes dans la scène de la musique électronique !
