Manu, born in Lima, Peru, grew up with salsa music and dance as part of his culture. In 2004, he turned his passion into a profession and toured Spain and Europe for 21 years, giving workshops, presenting shows with his formations sabor & Bembé in Madrid, Mambo & sandunga in London and currently MamboJazz in Munich doing shows and organising events. His main passion is to spread Salsa by bringing his knowledge of Latin culture to the dance floors as a DJ. Being a reference now in Munich his sessions are adapted to the dance floor so that the dancer vibrates with every song.

DJ Manu Ritmo is a connoisseur of Salsa, (Romantica 80‘s, 90’s) Mambo, Guaguanco, Guaracha, Cha-cha, Boogaloo, Pachanga and Son Montuno.

In 2014, Manu moved to London, where he spent the next six years establishing himself as one of the most popular teachers and DJs at London's most famous salsa schools and events, including Super Mario, SOS, Pexava, Caramelo and Salsateca.

Manu has been in Munich since 2020 working with more schools, DJ's and event organisers to (re)build the mambo scene in Munich.
