Movimientos and The Jazz Cafe present a huge summer fiesta with a double header of explosive talent combining African and Latin influences – the legendary Grupo Lokito who effortlessly mix Congolese and Cuban rhythms to sublime effect, and Juanita Euka whose own Congolese – Argentinian heritage provides the foundation for her exquisite mix of Afro-Latin rhythms and whose debut solo album is fresh out to great acclaim on Strut Records.
GRUPO LOKITO
Grupo Lokito creates a modern-day cocktail of two of the great worlds of music; fusing blistering contemporary Congolese grooves with the fire of Cuban music. The results have audiences dancing in a haze of energy.
JUANITA EUKA
With Congolese and Argentinian roots and as the niece of rumba giant Franco, Juanita Euka boasts a unique music palette, fusing her African and Latin heritage to become one of the mainstays in London’s vibrant live music scene. Over the last eight years, she has worked with London Afrobeat Collective, the Cuban fusion band Wara and Latin / Afro big band Animanz and is now starting out on a new, exciting solo career.
