About

Sombra is two people and everyone who shows up.

Paula and Austin — Elixir Pau and Gongo — make gatherings built around sound: six-healer ceremonies, soaking-garden resets, desert tables outside Marfa, long nights of deep house. She holds the ceremony. He holds the sound. Sombra is the shade where the two meet.

Elixir Pau

Paula · sound & ceremony

Paula is the ceremony at the center of Sombra. She works in sound and tea: bowls, gongs, voice, and breath that slow a room down until it can actually listen. She co-created HUM, Sombra's 360° sound healing experience, and has held space from Austin's soaking gardens to the desert outside Marfa. Sombra began with her conviction that people don't need more content — they need somewhere to arrive.

Gongo

Austin Gongora · music & production

Austin is Sombra's low end. A deep and underground house DJ, he plays long, patient sets built for rooms where nobody is performing attention — desert sunsets, soaking gardens, the last hour of a long night. He runs sound for every Sombra gathering, and he built HALLUCINATE, Sombra's virtual listening bar, so the room never has to close.
