Come and party with London’s Latin community and their friends, try your hand at salsa, cumbia, tropical, or any other Latin American rhythm or just enjoy live music from the city’s best Latin musicians at the Magic Garden. We welcome Wilmer Sifontes & AfroAmerica project, a group of musicians who bring the original sounds with their traditional instruments of this beautiful country with a mix of danceable Afro-Venezuelan and Caribbean popular rhythms. The band explore and reveal Venezuela’s rich legacy of African and Afro-Caribbean roots music. The tradition is great and takes on many forms. As such, with each beating of the Venezuelan drum there is a connection with the coast, the beach, the santería, their celebrations and dances. Venezuela is known for its own tropical sounds and other imported styles, Some folkloric rhythms rely on the cuatro as their rhythmic and harmonic base. It is used in most genres of the different regions of Venezuela, Joropo llanera and Parranda to el sonido del tambor de la costa, Gaita to Calypso, merengue and others. The country produced the global superstars and also big part of this contribution is part of some of our musicians here in London, one of them is his musical director WILMER SIFONTES from Caracas Venezuela, one of London’s most accomplished, outstanding and prolific percussionists.
