Next FunkAfro Cuba, Colombia and Caribbean

The finest world music night in LEEDS, this time switched to Salsa and Calypso mode with the incredible salsa dance diva Tanya Cusan-Espinosa giving a masterclass.Onstage we have the amazing Mojito salsa band spreading the Cuban sunshine and the undisputed ambassador of the Trinidadian Calypso/Jazz sound, Dudley Nesbitt on Steel Pan. This time around we are honored and privileged to have one of Fresh FM’s brightest stars, taking time out from the legendary cult Cosmic Slop clubnight – the man who built a entire reggae sound-system with his own bare hands, DJ Tom Smith who will be spinning some of the rarest dance vinyl ever heard for one purpose only – to heat up the dance floor. Believe us people – FunkAfro will be HOT! See you there!
