Meet Río

Meet Río, the groove maestro hailing from the vibrant streets of San Juan, Puerto Rico. Known to his friends as Yoel, he embarked on a musical journey that led him to a Wilmington nightspot, where he explored the world of spinning Latin tunes.

Now, two decades later, Río dominates the DJ scene, specializing in infectious beats of Salsa, Merengue, Bachata, and Reggaeton. Catch him at hotspots like The Reel Cafe, Social House of Tequila, The Husk, Mariposa, and True Blue Butcher & Barrel.

Río is also a dance music aficionado, immersing himself in the vibrant scene, blending Latin rhythms with electronic innovation. His electrifying sets draw music enthusiasts from all walks of life, whether at a local dance club or a festival.

Beyond beats, Río is community-focused, actively participating in cultural events with UNCW’s Centro Hispano and local organizations. In his rare off-time, he enjoys quality time with his family – a loving wife, two wrestling champs at North Brunswick High School, and a lively crew of three chihuahuas, and five chickens.

Río’s journey unfolds as a captivating musical mixtape, resonating with enchanting beats and rhythmic mastery. For an unparalleled experience at your next event or party, reach out to have Río infuse it with his electrifying energy and expert vibe control.
