Diva Cruz is a Colombian professional percussionist, singer, songwriter and DJ based in Stockholm. She has performed at concerts in South America, North America and Europe. Diva started her musical career when she was 9 years old in Cali, Colombia. Cali is known for being “La capital de la salsa” and is where her salsa music roots originated as a percussionist in the all female salsa band Orquesta D`cache. Her drums have let her travel the world and spread music and energy to crowds everywhere. Her DJ sets are often packed with various live percussion which adds an extra dimension to any party and results in a unique musical experience for everyone involved.

She had been joined at Sónar by Day 2024 by Olof Dreijer for a hybrid set mixing live drumming with DJing. Together, they explored rhythmically diverse zones – from Portuguese batida and crisp techno to rough baile funk and lush house.
