Info on acts:-

Los Chinches
With their roots in Peruvian Cumbia, an infectious mix of traditional Columbian rhythms, Andean and Amazonic melodies and a helping of 60's rock psychedelia, London's very own Amazonian Cumbia band Los Chinches bring you classic tunes and their own interpretation of a groove that rocked the Amazon in the 60's.

Amabaibo
Ambaibo‘s repertoire evokes the sounds of the distant beats and passions of pre-Columbian Andes combined with modern sounds and rhythms. Their music gracefully reflects the multicultural life of London, where the fusion is vivid experience.

Lokkhi Terra
Lokkhi Terra is the amazing new project from Bangladeshi musician Kishon Khan blending Bangladeshi traditions with African and Latin American and jazz traditions. Whether it’s Cuban rumba with Bengali folk, or Afrobeat played on Asian and Latin instruments, or Brazillian Samba with Indian classical. Lokkhi Terra is about the process of mixing which went on 150 years ago in places like Cuba and Brazil are actually happening again now here in Europe, except on a much grander scale.
