It all started with Joaquim Silva, a dreamer with a passion for music and community. One night in 2023, over a bowl of homemade soup, Joaquim had an epiphany: why not bring people together through music and shared experiences? He shared this idea with his close friend Maria Costa, a graphic designer with a knack for vibrant visuals.
Maria was instantly on board, and they organized the first "Soup Party" in a local warehouse. The event was a hit, with Maria’s designs setting the vibe and Joaquim’s curated playlist keeping the dance floor alive. At this party, they met Lucas Mendes, a DJ who offered to spin tracks for their next event.
Lucas brought in Sofia Almeida, an event planner with a talent for logistics. Together, they scaled up, throwing bigger parties across the city. During one of these events, Pedro Santos, a social media guru, joined the crew after capturing a viral video of the crowd. Thus, Eat The Soup was born—a collective fueled by music, connection, and, of course, soup.
