Global Music Weekender: Grupo Lokito
‘Where the Congo meets Cuba in an exuberant explosion of music’’ This concert is presented by Music Worldwide in association with The Cut and is one of two special concerts for our Global Music Weekender. Grupo Lokito create a modern-day cocktail of two of the great world musics; fusing blistering contemporary Congolese grooves with the fire of Cuban music. The results have audiences dancing in a haze of energy. The glorious melodious vocals of Congolese front men Eugene Makuta and Iddo Donnatella blends with soaring guitars courtesy of Kenyan rising star Shama Shah, and the lilting keyboards of Latin piano player Sara. All of this sits on top of the rhythmic powerhouse team of Ernesto (drums), Emeris (congas) and Jimmy (bass). Our bar will be preparing freshly made alcoholic or non-alcoholic Mojito’s to get you in the mood. The bar opens from 6.30pm and the concert starts from 8.00pm.
