“Culture contains the seed of resistance which blossoms into the flower of liberation” - Amílcar Cabral__________________________ *DJ Emancipacion draws inspiration for her musical journey from people’s movements for freedom and liberation. Her sets take you on a journey through Africa (her homeland) via Chicago (her birthplace), tracing tribal roots, future dubs, and lots of soul. She has been a proud member of the San Francisco Bay Area dance scene for over 12 years, and has played and collaborated with many respected DJs and artists including: David Harness, Carlos Mena, J Boogie, Sake 1, Chuck D, Invincible, Mark Gonzales, DJ Nader, Cheb i Sabbah, Climbing Poetree, Fredwreck, DAM, Omar Offendum, and more… She is the founding member of SouLovely, the first all women’s DJ crew based in Oakland, CA. She is also a resident DJ at the legendary house music weekly Brothers and Sisters alongside DJ Dedan. When Emancipacion is not busy making joy on the dancefloor and producing music, she moonlights as a sound designer and composer for film and video.
