A clubnight held at The Jam Jar on Today. The event starts at 21:00.
Lua Preta are an Angolan/Polish duo blending a fearless fusion of African club bangers characteristic not only to vocalist Ms. Gia's native Angola but also to the whole continent - including kuduro, afrohouse, gqom and more.
Their unmistakable sound is bouncy, percussive yet soulful and delivered with attitude and dancefloor intent. The music feels right at home anywhere from underground club nights to open air festival stages, blurring the lines between DJ set and live show with a vibe that keeps you locked in from start to finish.
At the core of their music is a powerful sense of identity and expression, woven through high-energy tracks that celebrate culture, confidence, and connection on the dancefloor.
If you’re into forward-thinking club music with global flavour and serious bounce, Lua Preta delivers.
Joining them is Congolese DJ and producer Marla Kether with a high-energy, bass-heavy set, exploring global dance music from the African diaspora and beyond.
And Bristol DJ and broadcaster, Stormy J, with her signature blend of jab-house and soca heat.
