DJ Marco Rookie
His love for music started at a young age. In his teen years, Marco Rookie learned to play the guitar, having developed his technique at a music school, and improved his skills in several local bands between continuous jam sessions with his friends. Some years later, his passion for African music arose, and with it also the opportunity to premiere in EDSAE’s World Salsa Congress (Portugal) and other events. Since years he has been working for several event producers/promoters and clubs in Portugal, Spain and France. Furthermore he has played in major African music/dance festivals held in Portugal and Spain, such as Keta, Afrofever, Sensual Dance, Like, Feeling, Open Spain…He is currently Resident DJ at the Barrio Latino Club, performing every Thursday, with his own signature “Hot Kizomba Night “, considered since 2011 one of the top African music nights. His excellent track record as a DJ, is mostly due to his unbreakable urge to evolve himself professionally, through dedication and hard work, and last but not least, due to the unconditional support he receives from his friends and family – “They, as much as my music, will never be forgotten, Love you all!!!!
