On November 3rd Evan Rhodes, DJ/Producer from San Francisco CA, came to Nicaragua to participate in the the Bluefields Sound System “School of Reggae” studio project. Evan Rhodes, originally from Detroit, has put out numerous releases on many well respected music labels. He has been producing music for over 15 years and has gained recognition and respect in both the Detroit and San Fran house music scenes.

He was well received upon arrival in Managua and performed to a packed house at Managua’s Club Fusion. During his time in Bluefields Evan will be participating with the “Bluefields School of Reggae” giving a workshop in sampling and beat sequencing. Working with a producer like Evan Rhodes fits exactly into the model we are working to execute with the School of Reggae. His skill and experience will be a resource for our artists as they are learning to use the studio and create their own original sound.

Upon popular request Evan Rhodes will DJ a follow up show to his first party in Managua.
Look for him on the 6th of December at Club Fusion in Managua.
Also performing will be Revuelta Sonora.
