What an honour to go full circle and play music in a museum I visited so often in my youth. It was a real pleasure to share sabor latino @tate Modern Lates alongside @pacheco_nw1 @crucialjuice @auka____auka @daniroade and @_bushbby_ vinyl set was pure rumba. Thanks for curating and opening the space @destafrench @la_chonga__ 💃💥🎶

It also made me reflect a lot on what it means to be part of the Latin American community, the colourful melting pots of migration & my love for Los Países Hermanxs which face new challenges on top of the old ones. 🫶🏼🌎🕸️

So looking forward to playing again with the @our.latin.thing crew tomorrow night, last tickets available for the @rollingstocklondon show 🎟️🥁🪇

This is the first of some fundamental stepping stones for my new musical/ DJ alias @yageuar 🐆🌿✨

Stay tuned 🥁😉🕺🎶
Pa’lante mi gente 🫶🏽❤️‍🔥💫

The forever amazing @destafrench wearing custom Anciela ✨ at @thejazzcafe x @lalineafestival
Designing this look was pure joy, inspired by her single IMMIGRACIOUS, a beautiful celebration of immigrants and the powerful journeys that shape us.
And now, I’m beyond honoured of being part of this new era and your motherhood journey. 🤰🏻👼🏻💐
Thank you for your trust, your vision, and for letting us create something truly meaningful together. 🤍
