Tawoos Presents: Queer Bollywood

Back by popular demand, a night of grooving on the dance floor, showing off our best fits, and going open to close with hits from across the subcontinent featuring two of Toronto's most iconic Queer DJs!

DJ Amita is a legend in the Queer Toronto music scene, as a director, producer and the founder and resident DJ of Besharam for the past 15 years, Canada's longest running and largest Bollywood club parties. Her DJing has roots in Desh Pardesh, women's and LGBTQ communities and she strives to always create an inclusive dance floor space for all those who shamelessly love Bollywood music.

Heebiejabi is a Queer Afghan DJ based in Toronto. Driven by a passion for cultivating revolutionary love and community, her sound is open format, effortlessly intertwining rhythms and genres from across the SWANA region with global club sounds. She crafts high-energy, borderless journeys that are both educational and irresistibly danceable by weaving together traditional sounds with modern electronic beats. Every set is an invitation to connect, move, and celebrate the spirit of togetherness, where diverse sounds seamlessly blend into one powerful, unifying vibe.
