Born to Refugee Parents, Built Australians Biggest Latin Nightclub Empire | Jimmy Toro’s Story

Before the sold-out clubs.
Before the packed dancefloors.
Before Latin music became a dominant force in Australian nightlife.

This is the real story of Jimmy Toro.

Raised in Western Sydney by parents who came to Australia as refugees, Jimmy grew up surrounded by resilience, sacrifice, and strong community values. What started as a love for music and DJing slowly evolved into something much bigger — building La Cueva, now one of the most influential Latin nightlife brands in the country.

In this episode, we go deeper than the dancefloor:

Growing up in a refugee family in Western Sydney

Finding identity through music and nightlife

The rise of Latin culture in Sydney & Melbourne nightclubs

A community and culture many Australians rarely see

This isn’t just about parties or promoters.
It’s about heritage, hustle, and building something from nothing — while carrying the weight of family, culture, and expectation.

Welcome to a side of Australian nightlife you probably didn’t know existed.
