Shaki is Rick Omonte from New Haven, Connecticut. Perhaps most known for his highly acclaimed weekly concert series, Shaki Presents Sundazed at BAR, Shaki is also co-founder of the art-book Ephemeroptera Quarterly, was an event organizer for Intercambio, and a resident DJ for the monthly Taco Party series. When not organizing events, or curating the soundtrack to your best moments, he can be found travelling near and far, maybe searching for rare records in Peru, or digging for vinyl in the maze-like souks of Morocco. Most recently, he was invited to deejay in San Juan, Puerto Rico… where he now has a standing open-invitation. Every month, you can catch Shaki on-air at the long running WPKN 89.5fm, broadcasting from Bridgeport, Connecticut, and reaching the far corners of this world.

Sol Power All-Stars spent years immersed in the Washington DC dance music, nightlife and live music scenes, making names for themselves in every niche from underground hip-hop to reggae to electronica. It was only a matter of time before their paths crossed often enough to consider teaming up to do something together. The DJ trio was fortunate enough to connect with percussionist Hermon Farahi, the funk weapon that completed the Sol Power experience.
A mutual love for the sounds of the African diaspora was the spark for the crew coming together. The Sol Power selection arsenal draws from samba, salsa, afrobeat and other deeply rooted genres as well as their modern electronic cousins like azonto and moombahton. Whether it’s a classic Dominican merengue or a driving afro-latin deep house track Sol Power has done it.
