FRIDAY 13TH JUNE
TROPICAL STORM presents a hot summer fiesta special!
LIVE:
***FAMILY ATLANTICA***
A band that could only have formed in the multicultural mecca of London, Family Atlantica are fronted by the Venezuelan vocal powerhouse Luzmira Zerpa, London-born percussionist Jack Yglesias, and Nigerian/Ghanaian percussionist Kwame Crentsil.
Together, their fusion explores the wealth of music on either side of the Atlantic. Zerpa's rich and expressive voice, underpinned by intoxicating rhythms, delves into stories from Africa and the Americas with unparalleled joy and enthusiasm, uniting the music of the African diaspora.
Succinctly summarising their ethos, Yglesias told Songlines, 'music unites people, it builds a bridge between individuals across the Atlantic.' And that is exactly what Family Atlantica have managed to do, creating an album of passionate, joyous music that is thoroughly enlightened by a rich history of peoples, but at the same time, very much a contemporary sound.

Album Review: Family Atlantica – Cosmic Unity [Soundway, 13th May 2016]
