Orquestra Mambarito

Burning up red-hot classics from 70s New York, Colombia, Puerto Rico and beyond, they should be arrested for arson! Their blend of classic salsa from 70s hotspots and Afro-Caribbean rhythm really paints a picture of an electrifying live show—those big fat horns and killer vocals must absolutely light up the dance floor.
The 13-strong group has a classic salsa line-up of trumpets,trombones, baritone sax and full Afro-Cuban rhythm section, fronted by fabulous singers Victor Mastrangioli (Venezuela), Diego Abril (Colombia) and Nestor Rojas (Venezuela). ¡A gozar!
“There are few full-time ‘large’ Afro-Latin orchestras in the UK and Europe, but Mambarito are up there with the very best, these cats satisfy music aficionados and dance party animals alike. Always a massive hit at my weekly Saturday afternoon Latin Jazz Brunch sessions, they just seem to get tighter and funkier each show.”

PerKelt ignites the night with high-energy “speed folk,” blending Celtic melodies, fiery rhythms, and poetic storytelling.

PERKELT

Formed in 2008, PerKelt is a unique and energetic contemporary folk band based in London, UK.

Inspired by medieval and Celtic music heritage from across Europe, PerKelt blends many different genres into the characteristic sound they call ‘speed folk’; their fast, complicated, yet powerful rhythms and Celtic melodies have become their trademark over the years; reminiscent of progressive folk pioneers Jethro Tull.

PerKelt blends together an unrivalled rhythmical synergy of drums and guitars, haunting vocals, the tribal sound of didgeridoo and fiery melodic duels between fiddle and recorder. Wrapped together in poetry and with a strong message of freedom and joy, PerKelt is a band firmly rooted in their skills and talent, yet elusively beyond physical limits…

The band draws their inspiration from a diverse range of musical traditions, with their songs often telling stories from magic, nature and folklore.

‘An irresistible thrill … Guaranteed to be a festival favourite in 2024.’ ★★★★– Billy Rough (Issue #200 Songlines Magazine, UK, 2024)

‘Tremendously infectious.’ ★★★★★– David Kidman (Issue #332 Folk London Magazine, UK, 2024)
