𝐑𝐎𝐃𝐑𝐈𝐆𝐎 𝐆𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐀𝐑𝐃𝐎 [𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐞]

𝐖𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐒𝐨𝐥𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐀𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐚 𝐓𝐨𝐮𝐫 - 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐛𝐚𝐧𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐰

Come join us to celebrate another cycle of the Sun, the NEW YEAR celebration of the natives of Abya Yala (aka Latin America) and beyond. One of the most transcendental celebrations from annual natural cycles, which has roots thousands of years ago (Christmas is one example of it but from the northern hemisphere). It represents the rebirth of the Sun🌄, an opportunity for a new beginning for all life forms. That is why it still is the most sacred ceremony of the Mapuche, Aymara, Quechua, and other ethnic groups from the Andes 🙌.

This time we have the honour to host an international artist from Chile, 𝐑𝐨𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐨 𝐆𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐨. His music pioneered a global ethnic electronic movement that rediscovered ancient ritualistic rhythms and put them on the global electronic map for all of us to dance to.

Alongside Rodrigo, we will have a support act by Jose Pincheira, a perfect match for the organic, bass-driven and groovy music we have prepared for this celebration.

To complete the lineup we will have two ISU TAKI DJs, Xenia Lagune [Spain/Northern Rivers, NSW] & Otorongo [Chile/Melbourne, VIC], to play some of the most exquisite tunes Latin American ethno-organica/folktronica producers have released in the last few years. Infused with ancient melodies and powerful percussions, including -as usual- some Afro-Latin beats to make you shake it! 🔥🔥🔥

Rodrigo Gallardo is a composer, multi-instrumentalist and producer from Chile. He began his journey in music from an early age, next to the charango and the zampoña.

His career includes being one of the founders of the 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐳𝐚 group, with whom he developed - for almost ten years - compositions loaded with influences from folklore and electronics. It has several published record productions, which are part of the global organic electronics movement, where collaborations are born with different brothers and colleagues along the route.

The origin of its sonority is in the Andean and Latin American-rooted music, impregnated with the modernity of the samples, electronic beats and deep bass capable of commanding this trip through the song, the reeds, charangos and guitars, along with lyrics that seek collective consciousness and ancestral connection.

Xenia (aka Afrodisea) is passionate to capture electronic world music, combining endless flavours of seductive trance and mind-altering earthy tones. Her sets offer a collection of ethnic rhythms, tribal sounds, organic downtempo and Arabic beats.

By combining the impetuous pulsing of drums and deep bass, the rhythmical pounding of jungle sounds, blending native music mixed with techno, Afro house and funky disco.
This variety of music explores the qualities of sound and vibration and immerses you in a playful dance of the elements.

Otorongo is a music selector originally from Chile but currently based in Naarm (Melbourne). He is known for transporting audiences to pristine ecosystems: tropical floodplains, mountain rainforests, or wherever your imagination feels the most comfortable.

Otorongo's sets are filled with ethnic percussions, nature samples, and exotic instruments, and are driven by ancient rhythms carefully blended to ensure you feel free to dance. Expect from downtempo and deep dembow to eclectic Afrofuturism, passing through ethno organica and tribal tech.

ISU TAKI is a collective of Naarm-based Latin-American DJs/promoters that began as a response to the lack of representation of emerging movements of underground dancefloors across Abya Yala (aka Latin America). These movements have in common the vision of re-vindication of the diversity of folkloric and traditional music by incorporating modern electronic beats to traditional melodies. ISU TAKI has been generating a space for new music genres such as folktronica, Andes grooves, Andes step, Afrofuturism, tropical bass, digital cumbia, Afrobeats, and more. As a result, a vibrant community has grown around it, including the installation of the traditional Andean dances troop, Wayra Muru. ISU TAKI has organised events since 2019 across Naarm, and expanded to actively collaborate with other collectives in NSW and QLD. With residencies in some of the busiest venues in the city, renowned bands and artists have performed at their events.

pa la Pacha y SALUD,

JALLALLA!
