Join us at Drom Taberna with performances by Soukustek and a hybrid PA performance / DJ set by local, Colombian-Canadian gem, David Ariza.

Our headlining band, Soukustek - comprised of Tury Morey and Claro Torres - gives us a taste of life growing up in Cartagena, Colombia, surrounded by African influences and Caribbean culture. Their vibrant, energetic performances paint bright portraits of heritage, enriched by movement and rhythm. The group's name combines Soukous (a popular Congolese dance music genre) and Champetex (a nod to Champeta, the Afro-Colombian musical culture deeply rooted in the Atlantic coast).

You know we always bring out the OGs… for this edition, we are thrilled to welcome David Ariza, who will deliver a signature soundscape between Soukoustek’s sets.

David Ariza is a Juno Award winning Colombian electronic artist, DJ, and producer based in Toronto. His sets blend deep house, techno, and Latin rhythms into immersive journeys that move between raw energy and cinematic storytelling.

As always, Founders, Juana Go-gó and olasconola will share a bold blend of music to welcome you to the party.

Complimentary cup of Sancocho at midnight for ticket holders - please note: first come, first served.

Advance Eventbrite ticket holders must check in to the venue by 11 pm.

About Sonic Sancocho:The spice of life in sound, shared with community. Much like ingredients in a universal dish - a big pot of soup - here, platters of sound are spun and served with warm welcome. Musical ingredients from around the world, from a local perspective, for all to share and enjoy. Founded by selectresses olasconola & Juana Go-gó in Toronto, Canada, Sonic Sancocho is a community gathering of music and food - two things that nourish heart and soul. They bring forth the B Sides and the beloved of Latin music, with sounds from around the world, to your venue through all-vinyl DJ sets and dynamic live performances. Sancocho is where all of the ingredients come together and are shared amongst one another - from the starches to the spices and everything in between. We turn up the heat to bring it to a boil, coming together to enjoy a moment of connection through a serving of soup, within layers of sound, endless movement and fun.

Tune in to the radio show, hosted & produced by Juana Go-gó - Sundays at 2:00 pm ET on CIUT 89.5 FM!
