DJ Bertú plays Global Beats 'sin fronteras' and gets his inspiration and grooves from deep jungles, remote deserts but also urban beats from cities and jams from around the corner. As early as the early 1980s he has been under the spell of African rhythms and funk, but that hasn't stopped him from listening to all the corners of the world with his ears wide open and editing his sets. DJ Bertú takes his audience from Bamako to Bombay, Barcelona, Bahia, Buenos Aires, Bucarest and beyond. In recent years he has played with Mystic Grooves, Simba Ngoma, is one of the residents of the GlobaLoca! clubnight in Utrecht and regularly plays in Rasa in Utrecht.
