DJ Rikaya has previously shared the stage with a number of heavy-hitting and world-renowned DJs, including Afrojack, R3HAB and Pete Tong, among others. The last time this sorceress of the soundboards was in Guangzhou, it was to rock the main stage of Corona Music Festival for a crowd of nearly 8,000 partygoers. This Friday evening, Rikaya returns to Canton to hit the decks at W Suns.
Fri May 31, 10pm till late; RMB100, including a free drink. W Suns Club. See event listing.

Following this tour, the band will go on hiatus for the forseeable future, so be sure to catch them while they’re still kickin’ it.

Is imitation the highest form of flattery… or appropriation of the sacred? Alexandro Querevalú, born in Lima, Peru, and emigrating to Poland at 18, is firmly in the former camp. Dressing in the costume of Native American tribes, he performs earnest and soulful renditions of North America’s indigenous music. You’ll either resonate with the versatility, eloquence and emotion he expresses, or feel like shouting at him to take off the damn headdress.
Sat Jun 1, 7.30pm; RMB180-580. Guangzhou Opera House. See event listing. Tickets.
