Rooted in the sound system culture of the Colombian Caribbean, Edna Martinez is a Berlin-based DJ, producer, and curator who creates immersive, polyrhythmic journeys where African, Caribbean, and Arab rhythms intersect. Her music bridges global club sounds and diasporic beats, shaped by memory, joy, and a deep connection to her roots. Through radio shows on NTS, Radio Alhara, and Worldwide FM, she delves into questions of restitution through sonic practices and storytelling. Her collaborations include mixes for Other People, a research project with a final mix for Gallo, and multiple appearances as a headliner at Sofrito Records’ parties. She also leads long-running projects including LatinArab and El Volcán. In 2025, her debut compilation, Picó Sound System Culture from the Colombian Caribbean, was released via Strut Records.
