Join us for the first iteration of our Vamos Habibi versus concept. Every party will highlight two of your favorite artists from Latin America and the Middle East.

Our first party will showcase two global musical juggernauts. Join us for Bad Bunny vs. Amr Diab! Who will come out on top?

Arabic and Latin often feature syncopated beats, polyrhythms, and complex percussion arrangements that create a vibrant and energetic sound. Both traditions place a strong emphasis on melody, with ornate melodic lines that are often influenced by improvisation. This focus on melody allows for expressive performances and emotional depth that are perfect for dancing to.
