Dinka (born Tamara Hunkeler on 24 June; [2] also known as Tamara Maria Kler) is a Swiss DJ from Lucerne. [3] She performs progressive house music with elements of world music, [1] [4] which she describes as "Multicultural Dance Music". [5]
After coming in contact with Above & Beyond, who appreciated her music, Tamara signed with their label, Anjunabeats. [5] She also earned a deal with A State of Trance, a subsidiary of Dutch DJ Armin van Buuren's Armada Music. [2] In September 2012, she reached #2 at the Billboard Next Big Sound chart. [6]
Her stage name comes from the Dinka people from South Sudan. [2] [4] When asked for the reason she chose such a name, she commented: [2]
I've been amazed by their story of fighting for their culture. And it seemed to be the right start to connect continents. I want people to be aware of everything happening on this planet. And on a second level to accept and share similarities rather than go crazy about differences.
