Ni de aquí ni de allá. First-generation Yankee daughter of an Ecuadorian
mother and a Lithuanian father, in the DJ booth Sara Skolnick plays the
sounds of the Latin diaspora, convinced of their power to generate
community and soothe wounds that never fully heal due to systemic racism
and classism. For DJ Riobamba, pleasure and partying are spaces of
political resistance, and music is a key means for the self-representation
and visibility of Latin culture, opening up the possibility of other
narratives.

Now that reggaeton and dembow are a fixture of mainstream culture and
summer playlists, legitimised by the whitewashing and cultural
appropriation processes of the music industry, DJ Riobamba has turned to
perreo and lives with the hyper-sexualised (and sexist) lyrics, totally at
ease with the shift and ambiguity that takes place when a woman is in the
booth.
