Learn to salsa dance, and groove to afro-latin rhythms with DJ/selector GIA FU!

Join us for a night of salsa and afro-latin grooves with DJ/Selector Gia Fu! Start off the night with Salsa Dance Lessons taught by Baudilio Rivera, followed by a full length set from Gia. 

Originally from Hong Kong, Gia combines her Chinese heritage with Latin American influences to bring a modern spin to Salsa. Specializing in Afro-Latin music, particularly Salsa and associated rhythms, Gia is bringing salsa back as a mainstream party genre. Think SALSA MEETS BOILER ROOM VIBES! 

You can hear this unique combo in her most recent single Lotus, a salsa fusion track with Chinese elements. 

Leading the Canton Mambo 曼波 project and party (@cantonmambo), Gia Fu dedicates herself to bridging cultural divides, embracing diversity through research, cultural & dance events, and music. The party is dedicated to bridging cultural gaps and embracing diversity through Salsa, Afro-Latin music & Asian sounds. Through extensive research and study of the history and influences between different cultures, Canton Mambo aims to create an inclusive space where cultural blends harmoniously foster unity through music.  Her upcoming single, “Canton Mambo,” blends her native musical instrument Guzheng with salsa rhythms, introducing an exciting fusion sound for the genre.

In the year 2021, Gia demonstrated her versatility by producing a captivating big-band Salsa album for Grammy-nominated artist Angel Meléndez. This project involved collaboration with 30 musicians spanning various age groups, from their 20s to their 70s. 

More recently, Gia performed at the Bulova product-launch event during the Latin Grammys in Las Vegas. In Hong Kong, she played the Clockenflap Festival, as well as the official InterMiami Pre-Party for special guests Lionel Messi, David Beckham and other luminaries of the soccer world. Also in Hong Kong, Gia curated the music for the after party of Louis Vuitton Men’s Pre-Fall Show, hosted by Pharrell Williams. She was the featured opening act in Miami during Marc Anthony’s VIVIENDO Tour in 2023.

In early 2024, Gia achieved major success with her sold-out, four-city tour in Mexico as a headline artist & DJ. As her star continues to rise, we will be hearing much more from this powerhouse performer and curator of music and culture. Stay tuned…
