Buna Blues - Vol. 9

Ladibug Studios presents Buna Blues, a slow-burn gathering rooted in diverse jazz sounds, thoughtful curation, and the warmth of cultural tradition.

Buna Blues Vol. 9 is for the lovers- platonic, romantic or ready to mingle. We're curating an exclusive experience designed with all the feels in mind. At the center we have YUBÀ, a husband-and-wife Afro-Latino jazz duo. Led by composers Solaya and Jhon Martez, YUBÀ draws from jazz tradition, Caribbean rhythms, and Afro-diasporic influences to create immersive and genre-expanding performances.

As always, our format is mainly floor seating with limited chair seating and VIP couch seating. Guests are encouraged to bring a blanket, pillow, and something to sip. BYOB (bring your own bottle) is always welcome.

Included with your ticket, experience the communal ritual of the Ethiopian coffee ceremony led by our resident host from Ethiopia, Genet, or enjoy an assortment of hot teas and a glass of wine while supplies last, sponsored by black-owned, Coastal Vibes Wine. We're also featuring dessert and charcuterie boxes available for purchase by Caribbean owned, Soultera Catering. To make Vol. 9 even more special, we're featuring Esse Events, a queer black-owned event planning company that makes your dream event accessible. Her pop-up experience will feature a photo booth and bouquet cart to treat yourself, your lover or friend, or even someone new you meet.

Rooted in togetherness, Buna Blues is designed to make you feel at home and safe for everyone. We welcome everyone 21+ to listen deeply to the music, themselves, and one another. Stay up to date by following Buna Blues on social media: Instagram: @bunablues TikTok: @bunablues
