As part of our ongoing homage to Latin Heritage Month, celebrated from September 15th to October 15th, this set continues a series we’re posting to honor the profound influence of Latin music and culture on global sounds. Latin Heritage Month is a time to recognize the cultural contributions of the Latin American community, and through this series, we are spotlighting the vibrant rhythms and genres that connect generations and keep the spirit of Latin music alive.
At the heart of this celebration is Rizoma, the founder of Global Groove (Seattle), a Chilean vinyl DJ and dedicated music promoter. With an unwavering passion that transcends borders and genres, Rizoma celebrates the rich rhythms of Latin America, cultivating a local scene in Seattle that embraces global music and honors diasporas. Rooted in experimental music composition and free improvisation, Rizoma's unique background adds a distinctive touch to their sets. Featured on platforms such as KEXP and Worldwide FM, Rizoma has also performed at festivals like Latinos con Soul in San Francisco and Freakout in Seattle. Through eclectic selections, Rizoma invites audiences to join a cultural phenomenon where music becomes a bridge connecting diverse communities.
This set is deeply personal to Rizoma, as it reflects his journey as part of the Latin American diaspora living in the U.S. The collection spans various genres, from psychedelic Cumbia to Latin funk, all tied together by the rhythms and sounds that have shaped his experience. These songs not only evoke the nostalgia of home but also represent the evolution of his identity as it merges with new influences. Through this set, he seeks to create a moment where others in the diaspora can feel seen and celebrate the rich musical heritage they carry with them.
