Edna Martínez

Drawing from the rich heritage of the Colombian Caribbean and its sound system culture, Edna Martinez is known for expansive DJ sets that transcend curation, blending African, Caribbean, and Arab sonorities. Deeply embedded in Berlin’s dynamic music scene, her eclectic performances are in constant evolution, weaving basslines and polyrhythmic arrangements to connect global club styles and diaspora rhythms, including dabke, champeta, soukous, tarraxo, soca, and any other influences that enrich her distinctive vision. She has performed on prominent European stages, such as Glastonbury, Fusion Festival, Museo Reina Sofía, Bahidora, Panorama Bar Berghain, and has also reached audiences in Palestine, Lebanon, Morocco, Colombia, Mexico, Panama, and Chile. As a host on NTS, Radio Alhara, and Worldwide FM, she continuously engages with global sonic landscapes. Martinez considers sound an integral part of her artistic practice, focusing on themes of restitution and the boundaries of sonic expression.
