THE MUNDO MIX - Saturday April 25, 2009

The Mundo Mix. The Mundo Mix is simply a mix of global music I put together for my first DJ set. I wanted to share what the party goers ALL loved. This mix has Japanese Dub, Bossa Nova, Afrobeat,Romanian Gypsy Punk and other interesting sounds of the Globe.



Being a DJ is definitely fun and interesting. This set embodies the group of cultures I had the pleasure of entertaining. I met people from Brazil, Africa and Costa Rica. The music set tone for a home away from for them in the wide eyed city of Atlanta.

Enjoy,
Ms. Unique
