“LA JUNTA”, a Spanish translation of ‘the gathering’ serves as both the widely popular brand
name of Los Angeles outdoor cultural celebrations that feature tropical Afro-Latin music, and
as the moniker of the four-person team that produces the series and related deejay/live
music events.
Resident selectors Degruvme, Yukicito and Glenn Red–whose respective ethnic heritages
begin in Mexico, Japan and the Philippines–together create a rich pastiche of tropical dance
music celebrated for its unique balance of vintage and cutting edge sounds. Music lovers,
fervent dancers and casual listeners alike will find themselves on an irresistible musical
sojourn across Colombia, Brazil, Peru, Central America, the Caribbean, Africa, India, and
through our stateside metropolises, all while the seamless blending of rhythms, food and
sunshine conjure big smiles and even bigger dance moves.
