Da Lata

A high-energy fusion of Afro-Brazilian rhythms, soul, jazz-funk, and trip-hop. London’s original global groove trailblazers are back to celebrate nearly 30 years of ground-breaking sound.

The brainchild of producer Chris Franck and DJ/broadcaster Patrick Forge, Da Lata emerged from the vibrant intersection of London club culture and Brazilian influence in the late ‘90s. They combine world-influences with the melting pot of their native city, carving out a space that was equal parts sun-drenched and rhythmically global.

'Edge of Blue' album tour
+ DJ set from Simon Ruston
7pm - 10pm
The Jam Jar, Bristol

Known for deeply spiritually uplifting live shows and a long list of heavyweight collaborators and remixes, from Tony Allen to Jhelisa, Femi Kuti to Sly and Robbie, Carlinhos Brown to Novalima, Bernie Worrell to Mayra Andrade, Da Lata are making a rare Bristol appearance and we get to celebrate one of the UK’s most iconic and enduring musical forces.

This Autumn, their new album Edge Of Blue marks not just a return, but a new beginning: North London tropicalia born out of the alchemy of longing. Never before have Da Lata woven their many strands so sweetly, blending their diverse influences with the musical personalities of their extended family into a collection of songs that speak of struggle, survival, and ultimately hope.
