A gig held at The Old Market Assembly on Friday 7th November. The event starts at 22:30.
Baila La Cumbia is not just a band name… it’s a command! If you like your riffs horn-heavy and your rhythms contagious, this is a band you need to see.
With searing horn lines and percussion you can feel right up your trouser legs, Baila la Cumbia will turn any average night out into a riotous party that you’ll never forget!
Formed in Bristol in 2009, surfing the early wave of the resurgence of interest in Colombian music styles. Baila La Cumbia have performed at many of our country’s great festivals & have filled the dancefloors at many special occasions. In fact, any cumbia band would be expected to bring the party to anywhere it’s needed. Porro (Colombian big band cumbia) and salsa tunes are woven into the repertoire and with Colombian vocalist Juan Carlos Arenas and his guitar some Chicha Vibes are suggested as well.
Bristol Latin legends, Jim Blomfield (keys), Lisa Cherian (congas) and Myke Vince (timbales), make rhythmic waves with the huge double bass sound of Benji Muscat. The brass section also includes Bristol sax maestro Craig Crofton, Joe Longridge on Trumpet and on trombone the marvellous Liam Treasure.
Entry requirements: 18+
