| ROOTS OF RUMBA 2018
We did it! Thank you to everyone who attended ROOTS OF RUMBA. We toured 5 cities, our shows were seen by 470 people, we showed 19 pieces of work by artists from across the UK and abroad and held three banging afterparties! Roots of Rumba was a celebration of dance and music deriving from Africa and Latin America. It was a healing heartfelt show of dance, music, spoken word, beatboxing. The classes were taught by absolute masters in their fields, the audience bought a beautiful energy (Candela!) and the DJs at all three afterparties were internationally acclaimed and on fire!
