Apologia X Latin Arab Club: Angela Blackburn + Soumeya + Hajar + Piti Vaccari
Apologia X Latin Arab Club - 07th March, 2026
Latin Arab Club is an experimental space and musical party created by Soumeya (Algerian DJ) and Ángela (Colombian DJ) that connects the cultures of Abya Yala (“Latin America”) and the SWANA region. Through music, we build a bridge between sonic traditions and new contemporary currents, celebrating both the uniqueness of our territories and their historical, political, and cultural connections. The project was born from the desire to create a space where our hybrid identities can exist without fragmentation, imagining the dance floor as a real meeting place where our communities can recognize each other, blend, and celebrate together.
In this second edition in Barcelona, Latin Arab Club places the talent and creative power of the women in our communities at the center. It will be a celebration true to our essence and our reality: moving rhythms, sounds that dialogue between heritage and futurism, beats that invite enjoyment, and food from our lands, thanks to the participation of KIMA and Gazzawi Cuisine. We gather to create a space where the women of Abya Yala and SWANA are not only present but lead the sonic narrative of the night. A dance floor understood as shared territory: a place of encounter, celebration, and community. We look forward to having you with us!
