LAS NOCHES DE LA GROOVALIZACION 
>> DJS SANS FRONTIERES SHOW LIVE << 
MR. TOUBAB & CUCURUCHO 

Las Noches de la Groovalizacion is a global grooves party in Paris promoted by Mr Toubab & Dj Cucurucho at the venue La Dame de Canton, the only club in Paris completely dedicated to the tropical and world-beats scene with a monthly program where Latin, Balkan, Afro, Oriental and Arab grooves become the dance-floor of this disco-boat in a retro-futurist odyssey around the world. 

Las Noches de la Groovalizacion is a project managed by Taxi-Brousse Prod. & Radio Groovalizacion Paris hosted by two of the most active Dj's of World Music of the capital. Mr Toubab (aka Captain Cumbia - producer of amazing tropical mash’ups among Ragga, Afro Groove, Irish Music, Balkan Melodies, … and Cumbia of course! ) and Cucurucho (traveller, selector and digger of the music all over the world from the oldies and vintage vinyl productions until the last tropical bass and digital ethnic experiments).
