Where nostalgic yearnings and new desires flourish, Butterfly Beat is a garden of aural sensations – sensual, visceral and vibrant. Sonrisita flutters between house, disco, electronic, ambient and more, creating sonic narratives that are both resonant and reflective.

Sonrisita and El Marchante dive into the movies that move them, sharing the songs that make their favorite films unforgettable. From iconic scores to hidden gems, this special soundtrack-themed mix is a love letter to cinema in all its musical glory.

Osmar Romero is the founder of El Marchante, a cultural project born in Caracas in 2015 that has evolved into a platform dedicated to researching, curating, and sharing Latin American and Caribbean music. Based between Caracas and Los Angeles, El Marchante explores the intersections of memory, migration, and sound through vinyl, live events, and collaborations that honor regional heritage across borders.

The project has appeared on stages such as the Hollywood Bowl and Grand Performances, touring across the United States and performing alongside artists including La Lom, Adrián Quesada and Juanes. It has also travelled abroad to cities such as Mexico City, Toronto, and Bogotá, cultivating international dialogue through music.

El Marchante has collaborated with institutions such as LA PHIL, the University of California, the Japanese American Cultural & Community Center and The Music Center, as well as with record labels including Fania, Ansonia, and Diamond West, reaffirming its commitment to preserving and amplifying the diverse voices and rhythms that shape Latin American identity
