Across the Mango Belt, sound systems function less as audio machinery than as social circuitry – infra·structures of care, and collective imagination and re·invention. A Kigodoro mattress, a Diskoral Reef and the apparitional relational architectures of the aparelhagem echo each other in this conversation between DJ Love, Jay Mitta & Anti Virus, and Miss Tacacá, tracing the living technologies behind Tanzanian Singeli, Filipino Budots, and Amazonian TecnoBrega & TecnoMelody.

Together they explore how these scenes engineer their own infra·structures – from mattress-turned-dancefloors to DIY speaker towers, from pirated USB economies to algorithmic street aesthetics – creating spaces where community gathers, news travels, conflict diffuses, and joy circulates. This panel examines how sound systems operate as protocols of relation, improvised networks, and multivalent forms of social and sonic compassing across continents.
