🙌 MARICUMBIA IS BACK with our first online event:
🔥🔥 SANCOCHO SONIDERO🔥🔥
⚠️UPDATE ⚠️
Recent state violence in Colombia has affected our organizers. Their peace and wellbeing is our first consideration, so the event is delayed until further notice in order to make time to process the events. Sincere apologies to those who were looking forward to attending! Please watch this space for a new date to be announced. Thank you for your patience and solidarity 💞
If you're hungry for good music, please listen to EL TUMA's boilerroom set to tide you over 👯

SANCOCHO SONIDERO is our return to the decks that you can enjoy con o sin pijama. 😘
Join us XXXXXXXX, to enjoy our rich stew of sounds and unwind from the week. 💃
As always this event is non-profit and your donations will be funding a language exchange run by and for migrants with no recourse to public funds in the city of Glasgow. The theme and name of this event was inspired by a woman who is part of this language exchange, and her patience for cooking tough chicken. 🐓
