🌹Inés Paulina Ramírez- aka Lapaushi- was born in Ecuador. She is a Portland based multidisciplinary artist and DJ. She grew up dancing to classical cumbias on cassette at her family’s parties in the Andes mountains. When she was in her twenties she moved to Mexico City where she became immersed in Sonidero culture. Her work as a DJ and visual artist combine her creative tools to manifest and celebrate cultural identity. Her sets highlights the music that brings the sounds of the Latinx/Indigenous/Caribbean/African diaspora to the dance clubs, and the spaces interested in upraise and celebrate the joy of BIPOC communities through music and art. Her mixers are usually a playful collage between dembow, cumbia, house, techno, reggaeton, hip hop and global music. Her selections come from years of traveling, collecting and sharing music from various regions of Latin America that explore Indigenous memory and African roots while incorporating contemporary electronic beats. You can hear her mixes and playlists on soundcloud.com/lapaushi and find her on Instagram @lapaushi. She is also part of The Latinxs Dj Collective Noche Libre, Pdx-OR.
🌹Anjali is a DJ, Dancer and Artist. Her work is primarily concerned with pushing forward a working class, anti caste, immigrant feminist agenda on the dance floor through song, imagery and dance.
Since her 2000 debut as a DJ and dance floor instigator, she has worked to promote the future and vintage sounds of the South Asian and Desi diaspora within the larger Global Bass movement. She moves between two styles of performance, from behind the decks as a DJ to the front of the stage as a Bhangra & Filmi dancer, all the while exploring her own identity and using the dance floor as a place to build solidarity.
