A gig held at The Old Market Assembly on Friday 11th October. The event starts at 22:00.
Wara
Influenced by the fieriest of contemporary Havana's music, WARA has roared its way through the ranks of British Latin bands. With backgrounds spanning from Cuba to the Congo and Venezuela to Chile, WARA has become one of the UK’s most resonating urban soundclashes.
Their tracks play deep into the urban Afro-Caribbean scene; dembow darts though bass-heavy hip-hop and reggaeton intertwines with the bounce of the mambo. Combining a lyrically conscious approach with exceptional musicianship, this is a band with an urgent voice that demands to be heard.
"Wara are at the cutting edge of the musical pulse." BBC Radio 3
"A work of Latin-London genius, an album whose impeccable fusion between experimental form and insightful content makes it a compelling, unique and socially important release." ***** Sounds and Colours
DJ Ivicore
Ivicore is an explosive Urban DJ from Venezuela, bringing the best street beats and tunes from Latin American and the Caribbean, from classics and remixes to the latest hits around. With a mix of the best Reggaeton, Dancehall, Dembow, Afrobeats, Moombahton and Tropical Bass, she will take Papaya party-goers on a tropical journey of joy, dance and sunny vibes.
DJ Panther Panther!
Panther Panther! (aka Pablo Villierezz) is a DJ and audiovisual artist of Mexican origin, whose unique blend of digital cumbia takes listeners on a retro-futuristic journey into space and beyond. He is the incredible talent behind Bristol’s Midnight Ritual parties and performs regularly at Glastonbury and Shambala. As the night reaches its climax, Panther Panther! will drive Papaya party-goers wild with the latest Tropical Bass chaos from across Latin America.
