Barbican Event 28th June

Hi,

In association with Tuba Productions and the Barbican,  Jungle Drums magazine is organising a Maria Rita gig at the Barbican on 28th June.  

Maria Rita is the daughter of the famed singer Elis Regina and and pianist Cesar Camargo Mariano and is also a fantastic musician in her own right.  She earned two Latin Grammy’s in 2003, a further two in 2005 and has been nominated for this years BBC World Music Awards.  She is a fantastically expressive singer combining bossa-nova, pop and jazz and has brilliant stage presence.

I am working on the marketing for the event.  We’d obviously like to spread word as far and wide as possible. I was wondering if you would be able to flag this up for us in anyway? Do you have a mailing list that we could send some information out to or could you flag the gig up for us on your website in any way? I have included some info below but do let me know if you think anything would be possible or if you have any further questions.

Also do check out http://www.barbican.org.uk/music/event-detail.asp?ID=7626

Many thanks,

Alexa

Prologue @ Aquarium, Old st London, Friday 30th May

Prologue launched at ‘The Cross’ in feb 2001 and quickly established itself as one of London’s leading club brands. After now after years of success at all of Londons best venues, Prologue takes over The Aquarium on friday 30th May for the Kosheen pre Glastonbury party and to launch Kate Bush the new track from Prologue stars Viva City.

With guest slots from some of Londons finest underground DJs a festival headliner and rising new stars this is going to be HUGE!

Kosheen DJs
As well as recording, writing and playing live with Kosheen, Darren Coder and Markee Ledge have always found time to DJ in clubs all over the globe for such established organisers such as renaissance and ministry of sound, as well as holding down a residency @ Prologue in London. They play and produce a blend of Tech/Electro House with some breaks thrown in for good measure. As well as there own releases they’ve found time to do remixes for Kosheen and The Shamen as well as many others and with a Kosheen DJ mix album getting rave reviews on all media.

Ross Manthorpe (VIVID FIX JET)
Will be keeping the JET faith.

Ross smashed it last month.

“VIVA CITY….an über-cool four piece mashing d’n'b-flavoured electro-rock beats with alt-indie sounds. These post modern glam-punk upstarts craft raucous tunes that demand your attention. Produced by the legendary Kosheen DJs, Viva City have already made waves on Europe’s club scene as well as headlining London club nights.

With blazing support sets during 2007 for superstars Kosheen at London’s Koko and Islington Academy, and in Newcastle for Boy Kill Boy, Viva City’s awesome performances have blown fans away with their audacious mix of genres, unique style and in-yer-face raw energy. An EP is in production and a major launch is planned for early 2008, Viva City are dangerously close to the big time…Prepare for the biggest indie/electro/rock head of all time.” For guestlist : alistjohn@gmail.com / name for guests
