Alma - Selector / Music Curator:
As a founder of London based Latinx collective, ‘Bonita’, Santiago has specialized in the history and legacy of Latin culture with a focus in music. From cumbia, salsa, Latin jazz and psychedelic, all the way to different forms of Latin folk, the aim is to always find something that can make the listener FEEL.
As a music researcher Santiago has a vast collection of records specializing in Jazz, Latin, African, Brazil and World sounds, his passion lies in unearthing the stories behind the music and honouring the creators as well as passing on this knowledge and legacy as an active way of pushing music forward and inspiring others that might not have the access to these sounds. Expect to be delighted by some of the most unique and musically rich selections/curation as well as friendly inclusive environment.
