Casa Aurora's first night of funk, feels and giving backLast weekend I was exactly where I love to be. Somewhere between deep grooves and raw smiles, camera in hand, trying to capture the kind of night that moves you. The event? Casa Aurora. A brand-new house party with its heart in the right place. Not big, not flashy, but full of soul.
A Night That Just Felt RightCasa Aurora kicked off in May with its first edition and from the moment the music started, it was clear that this one was different. No overhype. No empty promises. Just a dancefloor built on pure feelgood energy.The music was a perfect mix of funk, nu-disco, jacking house and Chicago house. Not thrown together to tick boxes, but carefully blended to build something real. You could feel the love in every track. The DJs weren’t just mixing. They were telling a story. One that kept people moving and smiling without needing to know why.
It was the kind of vibe that doesn’t need words. Just a nod, a grin, a bassline. I saw people dancing like they’d known each other forever, even if they’d only just met.
And then there’s this. Every cent from the ticket sales went straight to Bahay Aurora, a children’s home in the Philippines. That’s not marketing fluff. That’s real support. Real lives being helped because people showed up to dance.I loved that. You could be on the floor, completely lost in the music, and still know that you were giving something back. No guilt. Just a full heart.As someone who was there to take photos, I usually stand at the edge of the room. But this time I didn’t feel on the outside. I was part of it. And I know I wasn’t the only one.
