We are honored and grateful to have been invited to the CartaJoven 10 – Encuentro Iberoamericano de la Juventud in my hometown of Cartagena de Indias, Colombia. We will be screening our Friends We Love documentaries to over 150 youth participants representing organizations throughout Latin America. We will also be speaking on the Pecha Kucha Cultural Panel which addresses issues of innovation, social media and cultural expression as a means for political and social change. Moni will be spinning a tropical set for the closing night party at the Bazurto Social Club in the historic neighborhood of Getsemani, which will be open to the public. Many thanks to Silvana Bonfante for the kind invitation!

To get you amped for the upcoming Massive Selector SFNY party, the good people at PropsRadio are posting mixes by all of the DJs who will be playing that night. This mix by Mamabear is just great. There are songs I don’t know but love and some that I play in many of my sets, so it comes highly recommended. Check out this interview with MamaBear & get to know her a bit. If you’re in NY on September 19th, make sure to RSVP for this end-of-summer rooftop jam! – Moni Pineda
