Rhythms That Move With the Room: Las Flaquitas at 214 Mulberry

There’s something about 214 Mulberry that always feels intimate — a room that shifts its mood depending on who’s behind the decks. With Las Flaquitas, the space becomes a slow-moving current: warm lighting, a steady crowd, and bodies swaying without needing direction.

Their selections have a softness to them, even when the energy rises. It’s the kind of set that invites you in and lingers long after it’s done.

A Trio Built From Community and Late Nights.

Las Flaquitas — Jessica Gjoza, Kaila Burke-Ozuna, and Tatiana Varchola — didn’t arrive through the traditional pipeline. Their sound was shaped in small apartments, makeshift practice rooms, and underground parties where the only rule was: play what feels good.

Self-taught techniques, hours of sharing inspiration, and a willingness to mix genres most people wouldn’t attempt — that’s their foundation.

They move between Afro and Caribbean rhythms, weaving in reggae, dub, Afrobeat funk, and modern dancehall with the same ease they blend hip-hop, house, and reggaeton. In a male-dominated industry, they’ve carved a lane rooted in confidence, curiosity, and collaboration.

Their rise is more than a career story — it’s representation, visibility, and the reminder that music always finds its way into the right hands.

The full set is now streaming on Apple Music.
