This is more than a club night: it’s a living piece of cultural heritage, powered by one of Europe’s only authentic Colombian Picó sound systems. Expect tropical heat, rare vinyl, heavy rhythms and a dancefloor that feels somewhere between a Caribbean carnival and a late-night block party.
Think less DJ booth, more ritual. La Saramuya arrives with a custom-built Colombian Picó sound system. It’s a hand-painted, fluorescent monument to sound-system culture. The night moves through salsa picotera, Afro-Caribbean rhythms, Congolese soukous, highlife, champeta, cumbia and unexpected musical detours, all delivered through a sound system built to make bodies move. Expect sweaty dancing, deep cuts, rare records and the kind of energy that only happens when music is treated as a communal experience rather than background noise.
La Saramuya was born in Barranquilla, on Colombia’s Caribbean coast, where Picó culture has been bringing neighbourhoods together since the 1950s. Built by DJ, selector and record collector Stivako during years spent immersed in the local scene, La Saramuya is one of only a handful of Picós currently operating in Europe. Its mission is simple: to honour and share the rich cultural exchange between Africa, the Caribbean and Latin America that lives within Picó culture. Every set tells a story of migration, connection and musical discovery, carried through rare records and sounds that have travelled oceans.
La Saramuya Soundsystem
Featuring:
Four selectors, one sound system, countless rhythms.
At OASE, we're interested in culture as a meeting place, a way of connecting people, histories and ideas. La Saramuya embodies exactly that. Rooted in community, cultural exchange and collective celebration, the project bridges continents while staying deeply connected to local stories and traditions. It’s a reminder that dancefloors can be spaces of discovery, that music carries histories, and that some of the most meaningful conversations happen without words.
Come curious. Leave sweaty.
