To kick off summer, @dadagoldberg hosted a Listening Room Session at @kabjuun to showcase the incredible work of Mexican artisan @simonhamui. The oldies from my record collection made an appearance, including The Bee Gees, Donna Summer, Barbra Streisand, and Diana Ross. Guests enjoyed DADA popsicles by @lanewyorkina. Photos by @iyemiiii.
