Selektor Bony, main founder of Cumbia Fest Berlin, music lover and collector of sounds, was born in Mexico City and grew up surrounded by tropical rhythms, accompanied by the acoustic contamination of the planes that thundered ceaselessly over his neighbourhood. In search of new opportunities and challenges, his path led him to Seville, Spain, where he lived for more than ten years and organised the city's first reggae and cumbia parties before settling in Berlin.

 

As a DJ, Selektor Bony invites the audience to dance to the rhythms from different times and different parts of the world. Latin and tropical beats with influences from cumbia, funk, boogaloo and cha-cha-cha merge with his passion for reggae and dub, building a bridge between different styles and combining traditional and old rhythms with contemporary sounds.

​

With his performance he wants to create a space without boundaries where music - as ourselves in a constant metamorphosis - becomes a place to rest and a colourful and moving journey at the same time.
