Lahmacun presents - CHOKA (Maque set)

CHOKA
Bolivian artist, performer and DJ Maque together with Brazilian experimental musician, producer and DJ auto_timer founded the CHOKA Collective, a platform inspired by the Spanish word "chocar," meaning to collide. Our mission is to bring together performers and DJs from various migrant communities one-of-a-kind events that celebrate the convergence of different party cultures and musical practices. CHOKA features collaborative performances, an inclusive platform prioritising queer artists with migration backgrounds, professional exchange opportunities, and a focus on community building.

CHOKA co-founder, Maque is a multidisciplinary artist who believes in the transformative power of pleasure. Her music and DJ sets are a ride for pleasure and perreo, for dancing pegadito and transforming rage into sweat, joy and sexiness. Born and raised in Bolivia, she started blending cumbia, reggaeton and traditional bolivian music sounds into her choreographic performances, to then start rapping, DJ-ing and producing music herself. Weaving different genres with a strong bass and dembow, her sound is a hypnotizing pelvic/culo summoning.
