Catania, Sicily, Italy, 04.09.26 [TDR®]: TROPICAL DIASPORA RECORDS AT MUSIC CITY VINTAGE – CATANIA, Sicily, Italy

Founder DJ Garrincha presents an exclusive 7" vinyl-only set with the full label catalog available in-store.

On 04.09.26, the rhythms of Tropical Diaspora Records will echo through the ancient, lava-forged streets of Catania. We are proud to bring the label's sound to Music City Vintage, a dynamic cultural hub in the heart of this resilient city .

Catania has been shaped and reshaped by the mighty Mount Etna for millennia . Founded by Greek colonists and rebuilt seven times on layers of volcanic stone, the city stands as a testament to endurance and rebirth . Its dark grey architecture, built from volcanic tufa, is a constant reminder of the fiery giant that looms on its horizon . In this city of surviving lava flows, we find the perfect backdrop for a label like Tropical Diaspora Records, which is dedicated to amplifying stories of survival, memory, and cultural re-creation from the African diaspora .

DJ Garrincha, founder of the Berlin-based label Tropical Diaspora Records, will take over the decks for an exclusive set on strictly 7" vinyl. The night promises a deep dive into the label's core sounds—a sonic journey across afrobeat, cumbia, and the rhythms that connect continents .

This is a unique opportunity to experience the full catalogue of Tropical Diaspora Records on vinyl, available for listening and purchase in a setting that champions the ritual of record collecting . Music City Vintage is more than a record store; it is a place that invites you to slow down, share a Sicilian wine, and let the music transport you .

Come for the exclusive set, stay to dig through the shelves, and take home a piece of sound that resonates with Catania's own story of fire, resilience, and global connection.
