Toumani Diabaté invited Brazilian songwriter and poet Arnaldo Antunes and guitarist Edgard Scandurra to Mali to record with him following a collaboration at the festival Back2Black in Rio in 2010. Arnaldo and Edgard arrived in Bamako with a collection of songs and, with the Malian musicians, they combined rock ‘n’ roll, African roots and blues to create an uplifting fusion. Together they celebrate the spirit of collaboration and connect Mali and Brazil in a way that blurs geographical and musical boundaries. London’s Family Atlantica provide support.

BRASS BAND BATTLE - ME

Two super heavyweight enormous brass bands go head to head, mano a mano on the same stage to decide whether it’s Mexico or the Balkans that can blow up the biggest storm. Whilst in the East father and son Boban and Marko Markovic from Serbia have become the gypsy brass kings of the Balkans, in the West, Gérman, leader of the Lizarraga dynasty of Banda musicians

from Northern Mexico has blown his way to ascendancy with the Estrellas de Sinaloa.

A world premiere title decider, white-hot-brass-knuckle ride not to be missed.

Produced in association with the Barbican

Hailed as a star in contemporary flamenco, Buika is blessed with a remarkable voice; raw and smoky but with a tenderness that hits right at the heart. Her 2010 album El Ultimo Trago, a collaboration with the great Cuban pianist Chucho Valdes, won her a Latin Grammy Award.

This is her first headline show in London since 2008 and previews material from her forthcoming new album due for release in June.

Support from London Lucumi choir with their sweeping acapella take on the Afro Cuban musical legacy.

Mala Rodriguez is one of the most inventive and popular artists in Latin hip-hop with a string of awards to her name and a series of ground breaking collaborations with artists like Calle 13 and Nelly Furtado. Her last album Dirty Bailarina took her into a new dimension and won her a Latin Grammy for Best Song for the track No Pidas Perdón. This is a very rare London appearance launching material from her forthcoming new album.

Tonight’s support is London’s Wara, with one foot in Havana, and an eye on their La Linea UK tour in May.
