Apologia X Kz Caribe: Bzzhound (Sobetek) + A RASSS + La KÁ + Macondo + Ricc Domínguez & Jofer millo
Apologia X Kz Caribe - 2nd May 2026
KZ Caribe arrives at Apología with an immersive experience blending music, living experience, and art.
Apología opens itself to the universe of magical realism within the picotera culture of the Colombian Caribbean, where champeta is understood as a living language of the African and Afro-Caribbean diaspora: an expression of resistance, identity, and celebration born in cities such as Barranquilla, Cartagena, or San Basilio de Palenque, where K-Z sound systems became spaces of sonic worship and collective dancing.
The DJs guiding this direct ticket into the journey, Sobetek, La Ká, A Rasss, and resident Macondo, will build a sonic path that moves through champeta, afrobeats, soukous, amapiano, kuduro, soca, highlife, makossa, dancehall, Dominican dembow, shatta, and other sounds of the diaspora; a journey that activates the body and shared movement.
The experience expands through a 3D anaglyph photographic exhibition and a photocall from the Racine(s) project by Résonance(s), developed in Colombia around the notions of roots and memory, alongside live performances that activate and transform the space.
Welcome to this movement: a phenomenon of freedom and resistance through the body.
Lineup:
Sobetek, A RASSS, La KÁ, Macondo, RESONANCE, Perfo Marimonda (Ricc Domínguez & Jofer millo)
Bzzhound (Sobetek)
Sobetek is an artistic project and record label born from the fusion of electronic music and contemporary bass with the roots of Latin folklore, especially the sounds of Colombia’s Caribbean coast, creating a unique sonic identity that connects the dance floor with culture.
Sobetek not only pushes its own sound but also serves as a launch platform for new releases within this aesthetic line, building a catalog that already has a presence on platforms such as SoundCloud.
A RASSS
From the Canary Islands to the heart of the dance floor. A RASSS is a queer artist, DJ, producer and sound designer based in Barcelona, blending pleasure and community through vibrant, high-energy, dance-driven sets. From old school perreo to neo perreo, from merengue to urban beats, their sound invites a celebration of the body, movement, and collective connection.
La Ká

As a resident DJ at KZ Caribe, she delivers carefully curated selections of coastal sounds combined with vocal snippets that keep the flame of picotera culture alive. This is not just a DJ set; it is a party-experience designed to inhabit memory and the body. A mix of tropical rhythms and picó essence that she calls herbs for movement. Get ready for a waist-breaking swing session filled with latineo energy and hot, infectious grooves.
RESONANCE
Résonance(s) is a sensitive media project created by Charlotte Viguier that explores human stories through image, sound, and different forms of creation.
The project brings together identities, experiences, and perspectives in a space where the intimate dialogues with the collective.
The (s) reflects plurality: there is not a single story, but multiple resonances.
Its first piece, Racine(s), explores how culture is transmitted, evolves, and remains alive through people. Roots are set in motion, shared, transformed, and continue to exist beyond their territory of origin.
Perfo Marimonda: Ricc Domínguez & Jofer millo
Ricc Domínguez is a multidisciplinary Colombian artist who uses the body as both canvas and stage to explore the boundaries between fashion, identity, and radical performance, building narratives that challenge traditional notions of gender, sensuality, and representation. As an androgynous model, he has collaborated with international brands, establishing a presence that goes beyond commercial fashion and enters a distinct artistic discourse. In parallel, he has developed a performative language within nightlife spaces and cultural platforms such as Kitty Wet Playground, Fulanitos, Maricas Maricas, Pandemonium, and Berlina, where his work takes on a rawer, more intimate, and political dimension.
Jofer Millo is a researcher focused on cultural idiosyncrasy through the study of traditional music from different regions of Colombia. He is especially knowledgeable as a performer and interpreter of native instruments from the Colombian Caribbean’s traditional music, particularly the caña e’ millo and percussion instruments such as the tambor alegre, tambora, llamador, maracas, and guache.
Together, they will present a performance: Jofer as the percussionist and Ricc as the figure embodying the marimonda, reinterpreted from a queer and dissident perspective, releasing it from its traditional heteronormative reading.
