About / Biography

UMAFRICANA brings to weddings the same intentionality that defines her work as a DJ and cultural curator: sets built around energy, timing, and the people in the room.

With Guinean heritage and a career rooted in Afrobeats, Amapiano, Afrohouse and Afrotech, she has become a sought-after choice for couples who want their celebration to feel like a genuine dancefloor experience, not background music. Her performances have brought together families from Nigeria, Cameroon, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau and Portugal, and that cultural fluency shows in every set.

She doesn't deliver a DJ service. She delivers the right energy at the right moment, from the first song after the ceremony to the last dance of the night.

Available for weddings in Portugal and internationally.

Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

I require a stable power source near the DJ booth (minimum 2 accessible sockets), a solid table or surface of at least 100cm wide and 80cm deep, and a clear path for cable management. If the venue has its own sound system, I'll need a mixer or DI input to connect. Advance notice of any noise curfews or volume restrictions is also essential so I can plan the set accordingly.


What information do you require about a venue?

I need the full address and any specific load-in instructions — including where to park, which entrance to use, and how to access the performance area. It's also important to know the venue capacity, whether there is an in-house PA system or if I need to bring my own, the stage or booth layout, and whether there is a sound limiter in place. Any venue-specific rules (noise curfews, licensing hours, etc.) should also be shared in advance.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

I can perform with the venue's existing PA system if one is available and suitable for the room. For smaller or more flexible setups, I can bring my own portable audio equipment. I do not provide a lighting rig, so for events where atmosphere is important, I'd recommend the venue arranges their own lighting. All of this can be discussed and confirmed during the booking process.


Can you provide a Spotify/DJ service before and between your sets?

Yes, I'm happy to provide a curated background playlist before my set and during any breaks to keep the energy consistent throughout the event. I can tailor the music to the vibe of the event and the client's preferences. Just let me know in advance and I'll have it covered.
