Get ready to immerse yourself in the mesmerizing sounds of Chancha Via Circuito at El After Social Club! This event promises to be a night to remember. Argentine Pedro Canales, aka DJ/producer Chancha Via Circuito, is one of the pioneers of the digital cumbia genre: mashed-up, remixed dance-club reinterpretations of Afro-Colombian melodies and rhythms. Despite always having an ear to the dancefloor, Canale's beats are carefully placed within the richly textured sonic landscapes of exotic sounds collected in his travels across South America. Joining him are San Diego's own Cumbia Machin, blending electronic beats with the roots of traditional cumbia for a high-energy live performance, and Divina Jasso, whose soulful voice and genre-defying sound add a powerful and heartfelt layer to the night. Together, they create a dynamic lineup that celebrates the diversity and evolution of Latin American music. Bad Vibes Good Friends on Facebook / Instagram
