DJ Safri
is one of the leading worldgroove DJs from the Netherlands. He plays just about any kind of music that gets danced to around the world —mixed or unmixed— such as Latin, Afrobeat, Oriental, Balkan Beats, Bollywood, Tropical, Cumbia, Asian Underground, Chaâbi, Kwaito, and Baile Funk. DJ Safri plays throughout this country (and beyond) in all kinds of places, ranging from famous festivals (including Lowlands) to the hottest clubs (Paradiso, Tivoli) and special venues such as museums, as well as at corporate events and private parties. With his deep knowledge of Oriental, Indian, Turkish, North African and Roma dance music, he was co-founder and resident DJ of the Mystic Grooves events at clubs like Rasa, De Melkweg, Tivoli, Paradiso, and at festivals. You can hear a mix by Safri every month on the Concertzender programme "Solta a Franga".
