7 YEARS OF ISU TAKI ft: Rodrigo Gallardo (Chile)

About

Seven years of celebrating our Latin American heritage and the cultures, peoples and traditions that came before us. A living legacy that continues to evolve, inspire and bring us together. From the lands we come from to the dancefloors we create in Melbourne.

What a journey it has been, so many people involved, so many smiles on the dancefloor, so many friendships made and such a beautiful community built along the way.

For this celebration we are bringing back to Melbourne Rodrigo Gallardo directly from Chile. Rodrigo was the very first artist we toured as ISU TAKI back in 2023. A sold-out tour that paved our path to continue bringing magic from Latin-America and beyond right to your doorstep here in Naarm. After more than three years, we are lucky enough to welcome him back in Melbourne for our 7th anniversary.
