**A high-energy fusion of Afro-Brazilian rhythms, soul, jazz-funk, and trip hop.**

London’s original global groove trailblazers are back to celebrate 25 years of ground-breaking sound.

The brainchild of producer Chris Franck and DJ/broadcaster Patrick Forge, Da Lata emerged from the vibrant intersection of London club culture and Brazilian influence in the late ‘90s. They combine world-influences with the melting pot of their native city, carving out a space that was equal parts sun-drenched and rhythmically global.

Known for deeply spiritually uplifting live shows and a long list of heavyweight collaborators, from Tony Allen to Jhelisa, Bernie Worrell to Mayra Andrade, Da Lata’s return is both a homecoming and a celebration of one of the UK’s most iconic and enduring musical forces.

María José Llergo has firmly established her status as a national flamenco icon.

Born in rural Córdoba, the Spanish artist is a standout voice in contemporary flamenco, blending traditional roots she was raised with alongside contemporary electronic, hip-hop, R&B and jazz flourishes.

Her latest album, Ultrabelleza, was selected by Rolling Stone as one of the 50 best Spanish-language albums, honouring flamenco tradition while embracing new, innovative directions.

Last year, she starred in a sensational Tiny Desk Session and now heads to London for a rare live performance.
