Cinema Colombiano x Crema – night programme!
Cinema Colombiano is celebrating their 10th anniversary, and after an awesome day of films it’s time for a big closure with music. They’re collaborating with CREMA, a club program initiated by El Javier_B (resident Dj at Worm and Operator radio) organizing dance parties in the city. CREMA has a clear mission: to showcase mind bending Afro-Caribbean tunes from past and future. And for this special occasion no less than 5 DJ’s have been invited to close down the festival… but not before a powerful live performance by La Ruka at 22:00!
La Ruka is an artist who has the jungle running through her veins. She is from the Colombian Pacific coast, from Buenaventura. Her live show brings together marimba de chonta and bass to create a fusion of urban music with salsa choque and folklore. La Ruka honors the name of a community that dances to the sound of its history, powerful for its commitment to its art, its land, its people, its women, and its flavor. She just released an EP on vinyl at the respected Galletas Calientes-label, including an addictive salsa choke-song!
Following La Ruka, the following DJ’s will keep you dancing till 4am in the morning:

Veinte Uñas
20 Uñas is the Alter Ego of Sandra Zegarra Patow, a Peruvian-born, Rotterdam-raised interdisciplinary artist. Her sets are emotional collages blending psychedelic cumbia, reggaetón, baile funk, guaracha, perreo underground, dembow and experimental beats. Through music, she continues to explore who she is, while creating space for the Latinx diaspora to feel seen, heard, and celebrated.
