BEMBONA

With her community-oriented and afro-diasporic approach, Brooklyn born & raised, Puerto Rican-Panamanian DJ, BEMBONA, has established herself as a singular voice in the landscape of New York City nightlife and beyond. In 2021 alone, she has had the honor to perform opening sets for La India, Mr. Eazi, DJ Blass & more. She has also performed sets for companies like Youtube, HBO Pa'lante, Snapchat, and has been included in Latinx-focused campaigns for NIKE and Buchanans Whisky. Recognized as a mainstay in this musical panorama, Bembona’s musical practice is rooted in healing and self-love, with an emphasis on educating her followers about the politics of Black Latinidad. In an era where much of mainstream Latinx music is whitewashed, Bembona is adamant about empowering and visibilizing those who look like her. Her mission is to continue to celebrate, empower & unite the Black Diaspora.
