ROBERTO PLA BIG BAND LATINO
Fox and Firkin - London - SE13 6JZ
After last year’s sellout show Colombian master-percussionist Roberto Pla and his Big Band Latino return to the Fox for another special Sunday afternoon. Otherwise known as the Godfather of Latin Music in the UK, Roberto Pla will be heading up an all-star line up of international musicians featuring the crème de la crème of the UK’s session musicians. Expect a dazzling repertoire of Salsa, Latin-Jazz and tropical rhythms. Instrumental in bringing the authentic Latin beat to the UK, and known equally well on the pop and Latin scenes, Roberto has recorded and toured with artists including Boney M, Kate Bush, Joe Strummer, Motorhead and Slim Gaillard while the individual CVs of his band read like a Who’s Who of Latin and jazz music! Plus special guest DJs to add extra flavour for an afternoon of the finest Latin and tropical rhythms London has to offer.
