The Big Finale Party with DJ La Niña

Saturday 8th June, 7pm to 9.30pm, The Union ballroom, Chapel Street

Our Women in Word festival ends with a celebration! A grand finale in the Georgian lounge and ballroom with DJ La Niña - a Brazilian British DJ, resident in Penzance, playing a bespoke international mix of women singers and musicians on vinyl ranging across genres from salsa to samba via soca, reggae, disco and jazz, and spanning the second half of the 20th century. A celebration of women's voices, musicianship and resilience, all on vinyl. A unique cultural experience.

Last year we had a costume theme, this year it is 'come as you are' – so the only dress code is whatever you decide! Grab a ticket before they go!

DJ La Niña

Niña is a Brazilian-British DJ, dancer, teacher and filmmaker resident in Penzance, having returned most recently from travels in Tanzania and Galicia. She brings traditional and spiritual elements from music of the African diaspora from across Cuba, Brasil and North America with a practitioner's awareness of cultural and religious energies. Nina is launching a Selector DJ channel as La Niña continuing her work curating and sharing global grooves here in Cornwall and across the world - the site is yet to be added to but you can see the genesis of this here: https://youtube.com/@LaNina_DJ?si=l95wthcJCjUXnsoP

Previously she was known as Latination and performed with her own dance troupe and musicians supporting international salsa bands across the South West - including DJing for International Women's Day Centenary celebrations in Fez, Morocco in 2011.
