Queer cumbia artists throw some of the Bay’s best parties — and they’ve built a community through rhythm born from Afro-Indigenous resilience.

  • Get ready for high-energy live music from psychedelic cumbia band Ritmos Tropicosmos and the dynamic, genre-bending ensemble Bululú.
  • A conversation with musicians and DJs about the Bay Area’s growing queer cumbia scene.
  • Gender-inclusive, all-levels dance lesson from In Lak’ech Dance Academy, an LGBTQ+ studio in Oakland.
  •  DJ sets from Mare.E.Fresh (Chulita Vinyl Club, Velvet Cloud Radio) and Sizzle Fantastic (Cumbiatón)

A celebration of music, culture and community you won’t want to miss. Co-hosted by KQED Arts & Culture reporter and editor Nastia Voynovskaya and Xorje Olivares, host of KQED’s new Latinx podcast Hyphenación. Presented in partnership with KEXP.

Location: Crybaby, 1928 Telegraph Ave in  Oakland,
