Salsa music has opened the world up to musician and DJ Gia Fu. Before she began filling venues in Hong Kong with her unique and enchanting vinyl mixes and “Canton Mambo” parties that “bridge cultural gaps and celebrate diversity through Salsa, Afro-Latin music, and Asian sounds,” Fu was already a global bonafide star in the world of Latin music.

And after years of traversing the globe, this past October, Fu decided to make New York City, the birthplace of salsa, her home.
