Sonic Diaspora with Special Guest DJ BETO (NYC)

Chicago Nu Latin DJ Itzi Nallah and Afrobeat specialist Afroqbano of the Peoples DJs Collective team up with Itch13 of Gramaphone Records to bring one of Chicago’s most forward-thinking African dance parties to it’s rightful place- the Shrine in Chicago.

On February 10th Sonic Diaspora welcomes Nu-Pan-Caribbean DJ BETO from New York City.

DJ BETO is a Chicago native now based in Brooklyn where you can catch him dropping Merengue remixes of MJ, Latin Afro-Beat, local BK Dancehall with Dominican Reggaeton in-between Trini-Soca, African Kuduro and more. He loves great rhythms that conjure movement, and with 10+ years experience pushing his Nu-Pan-Caribbean urban sound in Chicago, Puerto Rico and New York, it's a blessing to have him home to rock our favorite party.

Expect everything from Afrobeat, Afro-House & Global Bass to Reggae, Dancehall, Hiplife, Kwaito, Kuduro, Coupe Dekale and other darling subgenres of the African underground, and arrive early.

Friday Feb 10th @ Coup d'Etat, 2109 S. Wabash (next to the Shrine), Chicago, IL, 9pm-2am, $5 Cover, 21+, Space is Accessible
