About the event:
A flavour of the Pacific coast is coming to London with the world acclaimed Canalón de Timbiquí. This gathering celebrates the rich afro-Colombian heritage of the Pacific coast with dance and song taught by the band and food cooked especially for you by the band too.
Two families, Nidia Gongora's (Quantic collaborator) Canalón de Timbiquí and Family Atlantica (Soundway Records), invite you to a truly unique event where you will try the delicious & traditional food from the Colombian Pacific coast, learn how to play the music, and experience an intimate unplugged concert by the two bands. Don't miss this rare opportunity to catch one of Colombia's most magical traditional Pacific music groups on their first-ever UK tour, together with the amazing Family Atlantica, some of London's finest musicians playing music that fuses the UK with Africa and Venezuela.
COLOMBIA meets VENEZUELA meets UK meets AFRICA
Canalón de Timbiquí (Colombia)
Canalon’s music echoes the ancestral sounds of the Afro-Colombian Pacific Coast, recreating the power and rhythm with the chonta marimba, the percussion instrument guasa and the bombs drum. The melodies of the marimba and voice reflect the sounds of the pacific coast, and the lyrics are about the jungles, rivers, miners and all of their surroundings in the town they are from - Timbiqui. Timbiqui, located in the Cauca state on the Pacific Coast, is where the group hails from. The group of female singers are led by Nidia Gongora (long-time Quantic collaborator) and are supported by a band using a range of traditional percussive instruments such as the tambora drum and the xylophone-style marimba with its unique, light sound.
With international interest in this traditional 'pacifico' music, Nidia Góngora has worked with producer, band leader, and DJ Quantic for the past five years in collaborations and tours across Europe. In 2012, Sofrito Records included in its compilation record the song LA ZORRA Y EL PEROL, one of Canalón’s classic songs. In the same year, the group made a cover of La Jeanne from renowed and beloved French artist George Brassens.
Family Atlantica (Venezuela, UK, Africa)

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…
