Migration Matters Festival 2026 opening party

Celebrate the start of Migration Matters Festival with a buzzing night of music. DJ Dungi (Dungi Sapor) presents a live set that fuses Taiwanese Amis indigenous vocals with experimental electronic sound. Her performance transforms voice into rhythm, texture, and atmosphere, weaving together layered beats and immersive soundscapes. Joined by Amis dancers, the set unfolds as a dynamic exchange between sound and movement, where tradition and contemporaneity intersect. Drawing from Indigenous vocal practices and club culture, Dungi creates a distinctive sonic language that is both grounded and forward-looking - inviting audiences into an embodied, resonant listening experience.

Dungi will be joined by the Savanna Boys, a UK based Zimbabwean DJ collective delivering a high‑energy fusion of Amapiano, Afro house and Afro beats, with unmistakable roots straight from the motherland. Their sets are built for movement, rhythm and pure vibe. Once they touch the decks, the room shifts and the party finds its heartbeat. Expect log drums. Expect groove. Expect a crowd that doesn’t want to go home!

With additional performances from Gnawa Manchester and Kefaya and Elaha Soroor.
