MARACUYá

MARACUYá is a first-generation Venezuelan-Korean DJ and visual artist from the East Bay who centers Afro-Indigenous Latin sounds and diasporic queer club rhythms. She co-organized queer Black and Brown cumbia and perreo nights in Portland, where she also played with Latin party crews like Global Based, and played support for international touring artists like 3BallMTY. After recently returning to the Bay Area, MARACUYá continues building spaces for marginalized bodies to be centered and freely expressed, in the Bay, mainly with Velvet Cloud Radio on Secret Menu, and around the world. Her success as an artist is measured through the movement and energy she witnesses on the dancefloor.
