Preview: Family Atlantica + Vula Viel + Sean OD @ Jazz Café (London, 20th May 2017)
There are gigs you’d enjoy on a beach, dancing on the sand and soothing yourself against the background voice of the waves. Unfortunately, since we’re not living in such a picture postcard scene, we can only dream of such places.
But all is not lost, because even in London you can still ‘soundbathe’ in tropical and exotic vibes. For example, those created by Family Atlantica and Vula Viel, who will perform together on the Jazz Café stage on the 20th of May for the breeziest and most feel-good show of the month.
For one night, the Camden venue will be the place where West Africa meets Latin America and Caribbean Islands. Daydream palms and blue skies, buy yourself a Margarita and immerse yourself into sounds from the Atlantic and Caribbean Sea shores. The two London-based bands, supported by Sean OD will do the rest, giving life to a full-flavoured music party.
You’ll dance to Ghanaian rhythms, Venezuelan melodies, Colombian patterns, Jamaican upbeats, Cuban inflections, Nigerian grooves and so on and so forth…and you will quickly realise that Summer is just one month away!

Que chido, güey! We knew that with Wahaca and their Day of the Dead festival, we were going to live an epic night, but we weren’t prepared for such an extraordinary experience… Next, to the high-powered performances of two of our favourites acts (Family Atlantica and Voodoo Love Orchestra), the…
Even for a music scene as varied and unpredictable as London’s, Vula Viel are an exception. It might already be surprising to meet, listen to and enjoy a band comprised of London born and bred musicians playing traditional Ghanaian music. If you add the fact that they play that music…
Less than a month ago, we had the pleasure to co-promote an exciting event at The Jazz Café. Family Atlantica and Vula Viel shared the Camden venue’s stage to give life to an electrifying show bringing together West African, Caribbean and Latin American vibes.

Before learning to walk and talk, Luzmira Zerpa was already singing… well, maybe that’s not literally what happened, but since an early age, the woman who would become the voice, cuatro player and relentless energetic drive of Family Atlantica grew up in an environment where listening to, singing and playing…
It was a night to remember! Three exciting bands (Lakuta, Native Sun & Family Atlantica Duo) and a funky DJ (DJ Pete from On the Corner Records) for a unique show. Were you there? Recollect your memories and re-experience what happened at Rich Mix with our photo gallery. You missed it?…
It’s always good to go back to the Family. You can constantly feel at home with them and experience that comfortable atmosphere which smoothly makes you at ease. I don’t know if that’s because of the music they play, attitude they have, or good vibes they give out, but every…
Family Atlantica is ‘London’s musical melting pot at it’s very best’ according to reviews from The Guardian. The band, which consists of London-born multi-instrumentalist Jack Yglesias, Venezuelan vocalist Luzmira Zerpa, and half-Nigerian, half-Ghanian percussionist Kwame Crentsil, started out in an abandoned vicarage in Hackney, East London, before winning fans over with…
