Jersey Desk/10300696

NORTH BERGEN, N.J. - JerseyDesk -- On Saturday, May 31st, the patio at Lotus Thai transformed into a high-vibrational sanctuary for the first installment of "¡Levántate!, a soulful Afro-Latin house music experience curated by dynamic duo, Polyrhythm. The event brought together music lovers, dancers, and day-ones to a communal space that felt less like a party and more like a reunion of souls.

Soundtracked by Polyrhythm themselves, the jam packed event featured a special guest B2B set with longtime friend and international DJ Ivan Diaz, who flew in from Belgium to bless the decks. Their seamless blend of tribal rhythms, deep house, and Latin soul grooves moved the crowd from the late afternoon through sunset.

The open-air patio at Lotus Thai provided the perfect backdrop with warm lights, tropical cocktails, and a crowd dressed in rhythm. Levántate also debuted limited-edition merch including dad caps, bucket hats, tees, and even custom chapstick which quickly sold out.
The energy was pure connection and not just about the music, but about the memories, the movement, the reminder to rise up and be present.

Levántate means "rise up" in Spanish, and this event did exactly that by elevating community, culture, and connection through the universal language of dance.
