Afrobeats x Reggaeton at Aggie Theatre

Afrobeats x Reggaeton in Fort Collins

We’ve been proving it all year long to be honest, but with THIS party to start your NOV off right, it’s official - us here atThe Aggie are all about the party, the global sounds, and making our dance floors feel like a fire starting to burn. So that’s why we’re soooo running it back right here when we host Afrobeats x Reggaeton — a night that’s bringing together two of the world’s most dance heavy anthems under one roof here on Thursday the 6th. It’s not part of any big national tour, which makes it even better — a one-night-only showcase of sound, movement, and culture from across the Atlantic and the Caribbean, right in downtown Fort Collins - how lucky we are! Expect genre flipping all night long, sweating to an afrobeat four count, and all of us ready to shake a** till the lights come up.

Leading the charge is DJ Lalo X, a Fort Collins favorite whose Colombian roots run deep in every mix he makes. Known for setting the city ablaze with his seamless fusion of Latin house, reggaeton, and Afrobeats, Lalo X doesn’t just play tracks — he builds journeys. His sets pull dancers into hypnotic grooves that feel both wildly new and instantly familiar. Whether he’s behind the decks at underground parties or lighting up main stages, his reputation for cross-cultural sound design has made him a fixture in the region’s growing Afro-Latin music scene. Then there’s E.M.E, the Nigerian powerhouse bringing the heat of Lagos nightlife straight to Colorado. His name might nod to Nigeria’s iconic Empire Mates Entertainment, but this E.M.E is carving his own path — blending percussive Afrobeats staples with modern electronic energy. Every performance is a celebration of African excellence and rhythm, designed to make every person in the room feel the pulse of home, wherever that may be. And to finish up the vibes on the lineup is DJ Zimbo, whose story stretches from the plains of southern Africa to the mountains of Colorado. Raised in the bush and now a major name on the Front Range DJ circuit, Zimbo’s sound is steeped in the organic pulse of African rhythm. You might’ve seen him behind the decks at CSU events or local festivals — but here, he’s turning things all the way up, channeling his roots into an explosive set that bridges tradition and the dance floor.

So, whether you’re coming for the rhythms, the vibe, or the sights to see — this one’s one you don’t wanna miss or FOMO out on. You know what to do - see ya soon familia.
