Atlantico

Event information

Probably Britain’s leading exponents of cumbia, featuring charismatic Colombian vocalist Antonio Porras who has played with some of Bogotá’s leading bands, Atlantico present musica tropical at its very steamiest and most contagious. Whether they are locked into the insistent back–beat of a cumbia with its Afro/European roots; galloping through the loping rhythm of a porro from the cattle–ranching grasslands; or throwing in some mambo, merengue and Colombia’s own style of salsa for good measure, you won’t be able to resist these joyful rhythms.
