PAJARITOS
Duo PAJARITOS (DJ Malagón and Riobamba) are a pair of DJs, event-makers and documenters exploring the potential of contemporary global dance music. Along with our work with our Picó Picante family, we create traveling dance parties, document music culture in Mexico City and host conversations about a “post-geographic” perspective toward music.
