Salsa and Soul

Somewhere between London and Havana, volcanic activity has triggered the emergence of a new tropical island – Salsa con Soul. Alex Wilson and his 12 piece Salsa Orchestra set off the eruption at a launch party at the Jazz Cafe, 5 Parkway, London NW1 7PG on Friday, 21st November.
           The UK’s top Latin/jazz pianist and band leaders of one of Britain’s most popular salsa crews introduces a juicy, tropical fusion of muscular Cuban Timba, Salsa Dura and Soul grooves wth melting Gospel vocals plus a new line featuring soul divas Aquilla Fearon and Naomi Phillips plus Elpidio Caicedo.

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
