Sol y Soul, presented by oddCouple & Pachanga, is a low frills, high vibes experience that celebrates the intersections of Latinx, Black, and African cultures through music, food, art, and community.

Pachanga provides an avenue to share the work of hispanic artists, musicians and Chicago culture. Its channels of communication include events and quality content broadcasting for first, second, third generation hispanics. In 2017 what started as an underground party, became one of Chicago’s largest communities for music, art, and dance with monthly parties; demonstrating the spirit of Mexican Pueblos Mágicos fused with the sounds and flavors of Latin America.

oddCouple is a Chicago-based, multi-faceted producer, songwriter, DJ, and music director known for his blending of sounds to redefine genres and blur lines. Mixing a vibrant sonic palette of pure gospel energy, triumphant hip hop drums, smooth R&B textures, and avant-garde electronic tones, oddCouple’s music and production has created a sub-genre of its own. With credits ranging from Jamila Woods, Chance The Rapper, and Joey Purp, to music direction for Oprah Winfrey, Samsung, and others, oC’s established a sound and energy as unique as his persona.

Kweku Collins is producer, singer, song-writer, and rapper from Evanston, Illinois. Raised in a musical family, he picked up drumming early, joining his father on stage to perform at schools and festivals. At the age of eight, Kweku was gifted a four track tape recorder by a friend that would act as a catalyst for his fascination with production. From there, he went on to record experimental sounds and songs that eventually turned into mixtapes he passed out around in high school. After gaining some buzz with these tapes, Kweku went on to release his 2015 debut EP ‘Say it Here, While It’s Safe’, the 2016 follow up ‘Nat Love’ LP, and ‘grey’ in 2017. While Kweku continues to play shows and festivals around the world, he is currently hard at work on his next full length LP.

Gabacho is the Chicago-based solo project fronted by Mexican-American Siul Reynoso. His mixed love for modern surf rock and traditional latin music inspired him to create tropical surf lead by his creative guitar riffs and floating vocals.

Living a life between Mexico and the  U.S. has gifted him a first-hand experience with the cultures of both countries. At the same time, this lack of permanent settling during his early life made him feel not fully part of either culture or country. This feeling was solidified by his being nicknamed by his friends in Mexico "Gabacho" which means "foreigner" in spanish.

His ability to write in both spanish and english is used as a tool to express himself in more creative ways such as a spanglish chorus in Los Feels. This has allowed him to connect with a wide variety of crowds.
