Bonita House Band
The Bonita House band has been called one of the most interesting and unique up and coming Latin/fusion bands in London. With a combination of Salsa, Latin Jazz, Cumbia, Folklore and Psychedelia, the band is comprised by some of the best and most unique musicians in the music scene in London. This is perhaps one of the most unique features, that the musicians that comprise the band are not all strictly from a Latin background but the fusion of styles and influences create a unique approach and flavor; a Latin / London sound.
Rita Evans
British-Canadian artist Rita Evans creates sculptures, performances, workshops, drawings and films exploring notions of presence, momentum and becoming. Evans' process involves collective inquiry and feedback, composing and improvising - while developing spaces of multiplicity and communality. The sculptures become both actors and mediators of touch and movement, exploring a deep materiality of sound that responds to the people and locations they are created for.
David Kayode 5TET
Mentored and taught by Tomorrow’s Warriors alum Camilla George and mentored by Warriors co-founder Gary Crosby OBE, David Kayode is a rising talent on the UK jazz scene.
Growing up in West London, David’s first musical memory is hearing the music of Bob Marley. His household mixed the sounds of reggae with Ghanaian high-life music and the joy, love and power of music became a major part of his childhood.
David has gone on to perform regularly with the Gary Crosby Sextet, Nii Maxine, the Mingus Moves concert series, afro-beat pioneers Osibisa and is about to travel to Hong Kong with MOBO winner and Mercury Prize nominee Moses Boyd.
