SUMMARY:Lo-Ke-Ba Original Afro Cuban Music
DESCRIPTION:Original Afro Cuban music from a 20-year exchange of friendship
 \, culture\, music\, religion and ideas between the UK and Cuba.\n\n\nLo K
 e Ba and Delirio\nLo Ke Ba is a ten-piece band playing exciting\, original
 \, contemporary Afro Cuban music. The music of Lo Ke Ba is a celebratory m
 ix of the beautifully rich range of musical traditions and styles rooted i
 n Cuba. Lo Ke Ba live propels the audience through the worlds of tradition
 al Afro Cuban folkloric music\, classic salsa and contemporary timba into 
 the world of Lo Ke Ba - an elegant\, energetic combination of tradition an
 d creativity that brings the vibes\, makes you dance and leaves you wantin
 g more.\n\n\nLo Ke Ba will be playing their new album ‘Delirio’\, live
  at The Ironworks to celebrate its recent launch which has received acclai
 m in the UK\, the USA and across Latin America.\n\n\n \n\n"...masterful a
 rrangements and feel good vibes that has ‘classic’ written all over it
 . Fabulous!" - Songlines Magazine - Jane Cornwell (UK)\n\n\n \n\n"… ama
 zing contemporary Salsa" – Snowboy (UK)\n\n\n \n\n“ tremendo tema\, r
 ico para el bailador!” DJ Mambin (USA)\n\n\n \n\n“My favorite song is
  track #1 ‘La Copa’. This song got my attention from the start” DJ W
 alter b. Nice – NYC (USA)\n\n\n \n\nLo Ke Ba is fronted by Adriana Lord
  and Pedro Enrique Medina\, both well respected and loved Cuban vocalists 
 who are well-established at the centre of Cuban music in Brighton. The son
 gs are written by Adriana with percussionist Richard Kensington and pianis
 t Matt Baker with contributions from Santiago “Chaguito” Garzón Rill 
 based in Havana.\n\n\n \n\nThe Story:\n\n\n \n\nFrom 2002\, percussionis
 t Rich Kensington journeyed from Croydon to his teacher\, friend and mento
 r Chaguito (Santiago Garzón Rill) in Havana. Ten years after his first tr
 ip\, he sat on the roof of the Hotel Lincoln listening to what Frank ‘El
  Matador’ Oropesa had to say: ‘It’s good to have spent all of these 
 years coming to Cuba to learn our traditions but now you must make the mus
 ic your own’. The message from the world renowned bongocero planted the 
 seed that was to become ‘Delirio’.\n\n\n \n\nNot long after recording
  with Rich in the studio of El Septeto Nacional de Ignacio Piñero\, Adria
 na Lord set off on her own journey\, from Cuba to the UK. After establishi
 ng herself as a singer in the UK music scene\, Adriana once again met up w
 ith Rich and the pair started writing\, joined by Matt Baker on piano.\n\n
 \n \n\nMatt completed the circle with his own journey to Havana to meet a
 nd work with Chaguito on ideas for the album\, bringing not only Chaguito
 ’s words and melodies\, but the events which surrounded their writing\, 
 to the songs themselves. *\n\n\n \n\nIn Delirio\, Adriana\, Rich and Matt
  create eight songs\, sung in both Spanish and English by Adriana\, about 
 the world as they see it\, the lives they have led and the struggles they 
 have encountered\, within themselves and between people\, under two opposi
 ng ideological systems. It’s an album that makes you want to move and gi
 ves you something to think about.\n\n\n \n\nThe Axis Percussion Trio – 
 Rich with Dave Boston (bongos) and Simon Bowhill (timbales) – form the r
 hythmic backbone to Lo Ke Ba accompanied by Matt Baker on piano. The album
  features performances from Colombian singer and percussionist Rodry-Go (M
 ercado Negro)\, trumpeter Giovanni Siveroni and trombonist Landy Díaz and
  grooves on a bed of bass provided by Dimitris Christopoulos and baritone 
 saxophonist Nichola Pope.\n\n\n \n\nDelirio was produced by Richard Kensi
 ngton and Matt Baker in collaboration with Alex Wilson and Eliane Correa. 
 It was mixed and mastered by Jose Mendoza Colmenares (Oscar D’ León). T
 he cover design is by Cuban artist\, RAUPA.\n\n\n&nbsp\;\n\nConnect with L
