About Sonic Sancocho:The spice of life in sound, shared with community. Much like ingredients in a universal dish - a big pot of soup - here, platters of sound are spun and served with warm welcome. Musical ingredients from around the world, from a local perspective, for all to share and enjoy. Founded by selectresses olasconola & Juana Go-gó in Toronto, Canada, Sonic Sancocho is a community gathering of music and food - two things that nourish heart and soul. They bring forth the B Sides and the beloved of Latin music, with sounds from around the world, to your venue through all-vinyl DJ sets and dynamic live performances. Sancocho is where all of the ingredients come together and are shared amongst one another - from the starches to the spices and everything in between. We turn up the heat to bring it to a boil, coming together to enjoy a moment of connection through a serving of soup, within layers of sound, endless movement and fun.
