Guapiara Cachaca Presents: DIPLO

While Diplo's inextricably linked to a host of mega pop stars, his popularity isn't based on image. Rather, he maintains his seat in the upper echelons of the dance world by staying razor focused on infectious, driving beats and delivering raucous mixes each and every night he climbs on stage. Those beats range from baile funk to Miami bass to African kuduro to Jamaican dancehall and on and on an on. He was arguably the first DJ to popularize this modern mash-up mix, and his ability to repeatedly unearth obscure banging beats from the far corners of the globe has earned him praise as one of the greatest musical anthropologists of modern times. Diplo's currently one of the most in-demand DJ's in the world and is making one appearance only on Oahu and Maui. Advanced ticket purchases recommended.
