AMÉMÉ closes out a landmark summer with the release of “Chulo” via Altra Moda Music, alongside One Tribe’s five-week Cova Santa residency.
West African afro-house innovator AMÉMÉ closes out a landmark summer with the release of “Chulo” via Altra Moda Music, and the conclusion of One Tribe’s debut five-week residency at Ibiza’s Cova Santa. The two moments arrive together by design, capping a season that saw AMÉMÉ bring his community-first ethos to the island for the first time.
“Chulo” has spent months building anticipation before its official release, driving dancefloors across AMÉMÉ’s summer sets and quickly becoming one of the most requested moments in his live shows. Its release now gives fans a studio counterpart to the track that soundtracked the summer.
Running from late July through late August, the five-week Cova Santa residency marked One Tribe’s first dedicated home on the island, featuring diverse lineups that blended fresh voices with established artists inside the venue’s intimate, open-air setting. Having included artists such as Honeyluv, Kitty Amor, Da Capo, LP Giobi, Coco & Breezy, and more – the residency stands as a major milestone for the collective, following major showcases in Amsterdam, Berlin, London, and New York.
For Hubert Sodogandji, known globally as AMÉMÉ, the road to this moment started far from festival main stages. Raised in Benin, West Africa, his earliest connection to rhythm came through childhood mixtape competitions with his siblings, long before he discovered electronic music via imported French house tapes. He worked in banking before trading boardrooms for dancefloors, an analytical foundation he credits with helping him thoughtfully grow his creative community today. After buying a basic controller and teaching himself to DJ in New York, he relocated to Berlin to fully immerse himself in electronic music culture.
At the center of that journey is One Tribe, the community-driven collective AMÉMÉ launched in Brooklyn in 2017 to connect people through afro-house. What began as a grassroots event series has organically evolved into a global phenomenon and boutique record label, with the Cova Santa residency marking its most ambitious chapter yet.
What sets AMÉMÉ apart is his charismatic, magnetic booth presence, an infectious energy unmistakably felt on every dancefloor he touches. That crowd connection translates directly into his studio output, where his sound blends afro-house, tribal percussion, and deep house. Recent releases showcase his ability to bridge musical eras and cultural gaps, from the feel-good afro-house track “Wait For You” (with Franc Fala) to his 2026 reimagining of the trance anthem “Greece 2000” alongside Baggi and Three Drives.
On the road, that momentum has carried AMÉMÉ to some of the world’s most renowned stages throughout 2026, including summer sets at Miami’s Jungle Island, Barcelona’s Brunch Electronik, the Knockdown Center in New York, and a special Pop Up on the Roof at LA-YAM in London. He has also made prominent appearances at Hï Ibiza and UNVRS alongside heavyweights including Marco Carola and David Guetta.
Whether leading a packed festival tent or commanding an intimate club room, AMÉMÉ uses rhythm as a universal language, one that carries through “Chulo” and the residency it now caps, to remind us that we are all, ultimately, One Tribe.
AMÉMÉ’s “Chulo” is out now via Altra Moda Music.

Casa de Afro Same Language single drops July 24th, followed by a 24-hour Venezuela charity set from founder Dr. ADO next Saturday.
Casa de Afro Same Language marks a defining moment for the label arm of the Mexico City-born Afro House brand. It is landing July 24th as a modern reworking of a platinum-certified record. Additionally, it arrives days after founder Dr. ADO takes on a 24-hour DJ set to raise funds for Venezuela.
From Mexico City to London: The Casa de Afro Story
Casa de Afro was built from the ground up in Mexico City as a music-first Afro House residency. It was founded by Dr. ADO and Bud Lee. What started as a single residency has since grown into a 15-plus event history with consistent sell-out attendance. Moreover, the brand has since expanded into London, running alongside its ongoing Mexico City residency.
The mission behind Casa de Afro has stayed consistent throughout that growth. It is to bring authentic Afro House, Amapiano, and gqom culture to the dancefloor. In addition, the goal is to connect the African diaspora creative scene across Mexico City, London, and Ghana through music-first events.
Most recently, Casa de Afro ran a World Cup Edition at Level B, Bombay Club Roma, in Mexico City. There was also a London edition at Maison Close, Mayfair. The brand is continuing to grow both cities in parallel through 2026.
Meet the Founders: Dr. ADO and Bud Lee
Dr. ADO is the founder of Casa de Afro, with a broadcast history spanning BBC Radio 1, BBC 1Xtra, Kiss FM, and SiriusXM. Bud Lee is co-founder and creative partner. He helped build the brand from Mexico City up into the two-city operation it is today.
Casa de Afro Same Language: A Statement of Intent
The label’s key upcoming release, “Same Language,” comes from Dr. ADO, Bud Lee, and Paperboy Fabe. It is a modern-day Afro House adaptation of the platinum record originally by Paperboy Fabe and Brent Faiyaz. It’s out July 24th on the Casa de Afro label.
The release doubles as a statement of intent for the label. It is reworking a platinum-certified record through an Afro House lens. As a result, Casa de Afro’s identity is cemented as both an events brand and a fully-fledged music label.
Casa de Afro’s 24-Hour Charity Set for Venezuela
Alongside the release, Dr. ADO will perform a 24-hour set with Casa de Afro next Saturday to raise funds for Venezuela. This adds a philanthropic dimension to an already packed month for the brand. Between the record release and the marathon charity performance, Casa de Afro is using this moment to spotlight both its musical output and its community values.
Why Casa de Afro Continues to Matter
Between an expanding footprint across Mexico City and London, a growing label catalog, and community-driven initiatives like the Venezuela charity set, Casa de Afro is positioning itself as more than an events brand. With “Same Language” out July 24th and a 24-hour set following shortly after, the Afro House scene has plenty to watch from Dr. ADO and Bud Lee heading into the rest of 2026.
