Artists United for Venezuela - NYC Edition
ARTISTS UNITE FOR VENEZUELA - NYC EDITION
On Thursday, September 10th, at 8 pm, The Chocolate Factory in Brooklyn will host a lineup of New York and Venezuelan DJs, live musicians, and visual artists to raise funds for those affected by the devastating earthquakes in Venezuela on June 24, 2026.
For Venezuelans, rhythm is a way of life. Dancing is a way to heal, reconnect, and move forward. The benefit is conceived as a collective catharsis on the dance floor and an act of solidarity honoring the invincible spirit of the people rising with dignity after the disaster. Proceeds from ticket sales and livestream donations will support Yo Tengo Un Sueño, a non-profit organization in Caracas, Venezuela, and World Central Kitchen.
The lineup features a diverse group of artists, including Soul Clap’s Eli Goldstein’s new project DJ E-Cology, Holmar, Mafer Bandola, MPeach & Uva ‘e Playa, Moon Boots, Nickodemus, and Tambor y Caña, promising a rich, cross-cultural experience. Setting the stage, the event kicks off with a live prelude stream from Vista Bar in Caracas, featuring the iconic Ávila mountain in the background and sets by Mario Romero, Jauregui, Le Chu, and Coromotto. EL CONSULADO will present Coast Echoes, a new immersive video installation conceived in response to the June 24, 2026, earthquakes. The installation offers a poetic meditation on absence, return, and collective resilience.
