Projects

An independent label born in Milan that aims to influence the sounds of the city.

Project leaded by two young Latin American immigrants: Ismael Condoii (ECU) and Franko Garrido (PER), both living in Milan.

The aim of the net-label is to shed light on the artists/DJs who are building the city of Milan and to connect them with other artists who are influencing cultural activity in Latin American cities as well.

Doña Valentina is a space created to promote those who have been relegated from the musical mainstream. 

It has also developed a series of club format events, called 'Chiringuito', which has hosted artists such as Dj Babatr, Sassyggirl and Crrdr.

Doña Valentina is also a show at Radio Raheem at Triennale Milano."

"Kirykou is a project born in October 2019, based in Milan. It aims to embrace the differences that exist among bodies and cultures.

The team consists of the Italian-Nigerian psychotherapist Ronke Oluwadare, the talian-Ethiopian-Eritrean multidisciplinary artist Jermay Michael Gabriel, and the Italian-Ecuadorian sound artist Ismael Condoy.

Among the numerous events, Kirykou has hosted panels and book presentations such as bell hooks, curated an exhibition featuring artists like Delio Jassé (ANG), and invited musical artists from different countries such as Mala Fama (ECU), Dave on the Track (ETH), Xaxer (ECU/ITA), and Frida Korang (GHA/ITA).

Kirykou is a resident show at Radio Raheem at Triennale Milano."

The evening with the name ‘Reynaldos’ is intended to evoke suggestions and meanings linked to global hybrids: a common surname but also part of a collective imagination that recalls a Spanish-speaking foreigner. ‘Reynaldo’ is also the surname of one of the most respected critics of electronic music in the underground, in whom I can often discern constructive criticism in the cultural sphere.

In a context such as cities, in my case Milan, which welcome people of different origins, the metropolis also becomes a place of passage of new ideas, experiences, contrasts and musical memories. 

The enjoyment of music in Reynaldos passes through the different experiences and sensitivities of the people living in the city, providing for the presence of various DJs, each with their own unique style and sound. 

In an era linked to the art of post-production, the format aims to enhance the figure of the DJ as a cultural agent.

For the very first edition of Reynaldos, the following were invited:

- Guayaba, an Italian-Colombian DJ and organiser of Ex-altera.

- BVBɅ, a young Italian-Gambian DJ, active in the fashion sector and in various cultural initiatives related to Afro-descendence in Italy.
