Britain's leading exponents of Cumbia, the rootsy music most closely associated with Colombia. Featuring Columbian special guest vocalist Camilo Menjuro, percussionist Gregorio Merchan (who has played drums for Shakira) and accordionist Oren Stone (who has played in Boyaca and Rio Negro). Atlantico's musicians are influenced by many varieties of music including jazz, rock, soul, African and Latin giving the band a real edge. The dynamic line up includes three Latin percussionists and two horn players together with accordion, bass, piano and guitar.

Atlantico present "Music Tropical" at it's very steamiest and most contagious. You just won't be able to sit still when this band is playing. Whether they are locked into the back-beat of Cumbia, galloping through the loping rhythm of a porro, or throwing in some Mambo, merengue or Colombia's own style of Salsa, you have to get up and move to the joyful rhythm. As sensuous, swaying and spirited as a sultry Colombian night.

Put on your dancing shoes and catch this infectious ensemble now. No dance lessons needed. Baila mi Cumbia. http://www.atlanticomusic.co.uk/
