Yadhira De León Matos
Who owns the Mambo?

Yadhira De León Matos is a performer and choreographer born in the Dominican Republic and now based between The Hague and Amsterdam. Her work is driven by identity, spirituality, intuition and self-expression. She effortlessly blends styles including waacking, hip-hop, krump, bachata and merengue.

In Everybody is looking for Mambo, Yadhira dives into the culture of mambo: a culture that traveled across the world through the migration of Black bodies, changing along the way and repeatedly being appropriated. Expect an energetic mix of styles, movement and stories that question who gets to shape the way a culture moves.

Merengue is more than just music or dance; it is a living expression of identity, community, and cultural resilience.

Originating in the nineteenth century in the Dominican Republic, merengue emerged from a fusion of African rhythms, European dance forms, and Indigenous Caribbean influences. Over time, it developed into a powerful cultural language that tells stories of love, migration, social inequality, resistance, and pride. For many, the rhythms of merengue remain a connection to home, keeping memories, heritage, and community alive across generations and borders.

Thanks to its accessibility and resilience, merengue has survived dictatorship, oppression, and displacement. Anyone can take part, because everyone can lead and everyone can follow. You dance with the person next to you. In this way, the dance floor becomes a space for encounter, equality, and collective joy.

What if connection could triumph over division? What if there were no fixed roles, but shared responsibility? And what if joy were not a form of escape, but an act of resilience and togetherness? Come join us and experience it at Korzo.
