From the heart of Toronto, a new Latin urban movement has arrived — and it’s already capturing the attention of over one million viewers across platforms. Its name is TRPKL, and it’s redefining what a multicultural music experience looks like in Canada.
A Vision from Papi AQ
TRPKL was created and founded by rising Toronto-based Latin artist Papi AQ, who not only performs but also curates and hosts every session. His vision is clear: to fuse cultures and genres that reflect the city’s diversity. The result is an explosive mix of Brazilian funk, reggaeton, afrobeats, dancehall, reggae, soca, and dembow — all delivered in high-energy short sets by DJs who highlight the cultural roots of their sound while keeping crowds moving.
What started as an event series has grown into a community-driven platform. Each TRPKL session is crafted to feel more like a show than a party, with professional recordings led by director OneTakeJake and the BLRI Media team. The sessions are livestreamed on Twitch, then shared across YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok, ensuring global reach beyond the live audience.
Building a Cultural Movement
Backed by Gorillax Music Group (GMG), TRPKL is already gaining serious traction in Toronto’s Latin scene, with respected artists rallying around the brand. The timing couldn’t be more powerful: major labels like Warner, Sony, and Universal Canada are showing increasing interest in Latin acts, and the JUNO Awards recently introduced a category dedicated to Latin music. It’s a clear sign that Canada is experiencing a pivotal moment for Latin culture and artistry.
Session 6 and “Flow Violento”
Papi AQ is pushing TRPKL to new heights with TRPKL Session 6, which coincides with the release of his fiery new single, Flow Violento. The track embodies the raw energy and tropical heat that defines TRPKL, serving both as a celebration of the movement and a statement of intent for what’s coming next.
The Future Is Tropical
As Latin music continues to dominate worldwide charts, Toronto is emerging as an unlikely but undeniable hub for its evolution. TRPKL isn’t just riding that wave — it’s shaping it, creating a space where different cultures collide, connect, and create something entirely new.
