La Descarga and ISU TAKI Present: End of Year Fiesta at Northcote Social Club

Get ready, Melbourne! This End of Year Fiesta is about to light up the Northcote Social Club with a night of a pure, unfiltered outburst of tropicality.

Brought to you by La Descarga and ISU TAKI, this explosive event will feature Melbourne’s iconic 11-piece band La Descarga, celebrating the exclusive launch of the limited-edition vinyl release of their new album, Fiesta de Corazón! 

Known for their fiery, colorful shows, La Descarga will take you on a tropical boom experience full of vibrant and bone-shaking rhythms from across global Tropical cultures, and inspired by Latin America's street carnival culture and their upbeat music, colours and parties.

Joining the fiesta is Wombatuque, delivering their infectious Samba de Raiz and authentic sounds from the Recôncavo Baiano. With a mix of original tracks and classics from legends like Fundo de Quintal, Zeca Pagodinho, and Clara Nunes, Wombatuque will keep you dancing into the night!

The night doesn’t stop there— ISU TAKI presents an incredible lineup of DJs spinning electrifying sets guaranteed to ignite the dance floor. DJ Cuerpo Negro brings the vibrant rhythms of South American Folktronica, creating a sonic journey that blends cosmic melodies, tribal percussion, and hypnotic vocals into an immersive musical experience. DJ Soa Gabi, a vinyl collector and selector based in Naarm, spins new and classic cumbia and tropical sounds, inspired by the señoras who know how to keep the party alive—get ready to dance like it’s your prima’s wedding! And Prince Bastard brings the heat with Cumbia total, Champeta Africana, and Criolla vibes, ensuring the party reaches its fever pitch.

This is the ultimate block party to close out 2024! Gather your crew, hit the dance floor, and let the tropical vibes take over—this is a fiesta you don’t want to miss!
