La Rumba Buena

On Saturday, April 18, La Rumba Buena is honoured to present, in her Canadian debut,
SABOR A MI () 🇲🇽/🇫🇷.

Named after a Mexican bolero composed in 1959 by Alvaro Carillo, her name is a tribute to memory, to her grandfather, to her family, and to her culture, who instilled in her a love of rhythm and romance.

Growing up between Mexico and France, SABOR A MI continues reconnecting with her roots through salsa, bolero and tropical music. With every set, she offers everything she is and everything she feels, playing as if each set might be her last (!!!!). We had the pleasure of meeting Sophie (aka SABOR A MI) in Mexico City recently and we KNOW she puts her whole soul into her music. Será una rumba inolvidable (with some unforgettable dances too).

This is all going down at our beloved home, CAFETERIA (THE PEOPLE’S CLUB!).

As always, this event WILL sell out. Tickets now on sale. Get ‘em while they last 🫶

Pure and loving fire 🔥 last Saturday. Good lord! Appreciation to everyone that came through and brought their Aries / Spring equinox energy. And HUGE thanks and love to our very special guest who flew in from Mexico City and absolutely killed his set (he went in!) And a special shout out to .es (who came through for a secret set and rocked with us all night).

And we can confirm that the birthday boy (our own ) had a wonderful (and wholesome!) time.

We’re going to say less because .maker’s photos speak more than enough (so much joy on film).

As always, a big thank you to all the incredible staff/bartenders at we appreciate y’all!

NOTE: next rumba will be Saturday, April 18 and we’ve got a VERY special guest making her Canadian debut. Put it in your calendars, people. See you soon 🫶

Spring is in the air! And that means joy is in the air! It hits 10 degrees in Toronto and people start rocking shorts and Tees (y’all wild). You can already feel the energy in the city. People are ready. And so are we.

Join us Saturday, March 21st, at as we start off the season in the most appropriate way, with a double dose of Aries ♈️ ♈️ behind the decks.

First off, joining us all the way from Mexico City 🇲🇽, by way of Caracas 🇻🇪, the one and only Carlos Mayoral (AKA ). A celebrated music producer, DJ, and jazz pianist, Pocz is a regular at Mexico City’s famed (where we just had the pleasure of playing with him) and is coming off dates at the legendary (Miami) and .hifi (San Diego). On all fronts, his influences and most transcendental experiences come from the Caribbean, Latin America, Africa, Detroit, and London. He’ll be bringing a heavy set of salsa and other Latin Rhythms to Rumba, and he may sneak in a surprise or two.

We’ll also be celebrating the (actual) birthday of our very own (on the cusp, but if you know him, you know he’s a full-blooded 🔥 sign).

This one is for the lovers and it is going to be a JAM. Gente apasionada ALL day 🔥🔥🔥

Tickets on sale now, family. They WILL go quickly. See you soon ❤️‍🔥
