All Tribes Dance invites everyone for an inspiring evenings of electronic music and alternative films never before shown in Humboldt County. Once a month At Arcata Lounge Theater, a sequence of music, independent films and a dance gathering, to raise collective awareness that on this Earth, we are One Tribe. 

The night begins with a smooth downtempo-chillout set by DJ Marjo Lak, playing the movie’s soundtracks and other sonorities to relax and set the atmosphere. In the sequence comes the screening of independent films – short movies + 1 medium/long-feature movies - totalizing around 2 hours of screenings never before exhibited in Humboldt County.

After the screening the celebration begins: All Tribes Dance invites everybody for a modern tribal experience, striking up the dance floor with a long set of contemporary electronic sounds – Minimal, Electro, Techhouse Music. Synths, basslines, loops, a range of high, low and distorted frequencies, grooves and every element which compose the essence of electronic sounds brings a delightful dance healing experience. Much more than a screening’s party, the great idea behind the project is to bring social and ecological awareness to our community, besides raising funds for a great cause.

All proceeds from the All Tribes Dance gatherings will benefit the International Council of 13 Indigenous Grandmothers, a global alliance of prayer, education, and healing for our mother Earth, all her inhabitants, all the children, and for the next seven generations to come.  This is our call to bring global awareness to our community through an evening of audio-visual and dance celebration.

Marjo Lak has roots in the Brazilian open-air partie’s story. Inspired by her immersions on the dance floor, connected with the dance and collective celebration, she developed a solid pathway through the universe of electronic culture. Lak has a vast sonorous research, striking up beautiful and energetic sets not only on the dance floor but also on the Chill Outs.  Her downbeat case is a complex walk through Popular Brazilian Music, Ethnic, Soul, Funk, Dub…. On the dance floor, her soundtrack is “greasy” in the essence, but with no definition: a hypnotic-minimalistic fusion of Minmal-Electro-Tech-House music, a good core of clear basslines, tubular textures with both vocal and tribal elements, always going for dynamic and diverse timbres, quasi-funny sounds: cabaret style. On the holy dance floor ground, Marjo understands everything and everybody as one, all tribes gathered by the same beat, vibrating in unison.
