Dimitra Zina is a Greek curator, DJ, and radio host who’s at the heart of Berlin’s growing jazz and soul movement. Deeply engaged in the city's music culture, she has served on the executive board of Berlin Club Commission, manages productions for both established and emerging jazz artists, and curates programs for Radio Alhara, Stegi Radio, and Refuge Worldwide. Dimitra's selections range from jazz, funk, and soul to folk music, field recordings, and film soundtracks.
