La Linea The London Latin Music Festival 22 – 30 April 2010
15/04/2010
Promising a funky, punky, rootsy line up, La Linea as always offers a fresh take on Latin music. Now in its tenth year, London’s Latin Music Festival opens on April 22 with the poptastic tropical party that is Kid Creole & The Coconuts. He’s been fusing disco with calypso and big-band glamour since the 1980s and has been enjoying a revival of late. One of the pioneers of cross-cultural pop and a master of innuendo, sure to be a fun opening night. Viva El Mariachi on April 26 is a celebration of the deliciously melodramatic sadness of mariachi music. Topping the bill is Mariachi El Bronx, formerly a celebrated hardcore punk band from Los Angeles who found their true calling in Mexican folklore. The night also features the Mariachi Femenil Nuevo Tecalitlán from Guadalajara and special guest folk singer Emmy The Great. Check www.comono.co.uk/lalinea for more details of the festival programme which includes Salsa Celtica, Machaca, Tango Siempre, Amparo Sanchez and Kevin Johansen.
