EDC Recommends

Yorkshire Dance - Juncture 2014


Juncture is a Contemporary Dance event held at Yorkshire Dance, this year curated by Wendy Houstoun. Worth checking it out to take a workshop or catch a sharing!
Salsa on Sundays in London

This is one of our favourite Salsa spots where you can take four levels of classes at 7pm, and then dance the night away until 11pm (And still make the last train home and get an early night ready for Monday!) Class and Club is £7 or just club entry is £6 SOS happens at Royal National Hotel, Woburn Place, London, WC1H 0DG
Salsa Celtica in Leeds

Salsa Celtica formed in the mid-1990s in Edinburgh and play a unique blend of Puerto Rican/Cuban salsa with traditional Scottish music. They are well worth a watch, and will be supported by top UK salsa DJs and Calle Ocho residents Lubi, Fabio Bahia and Dr Salsa (SSC).


Soul Rebels....from Fela to Dilla and beyond....for those who like their beats a little deeper!

After February's 100% sold out session with Riot Jazz Brass Band/Nubiyan Twist, Soul Rebels is back in March again at The Wardrobe with another bumper double bill of live bands plus guest DJ.
Until next time...

We'll leave you today with a little clip of Carmen Amaya (1913-1963), considered to be one of the best flamenco dancers to have ever lived. Seen at the peak of her career here, she was a uniquely gifted dancer able to combine fury with tenderness and quite inspirational to watch!

The UK’s largest, free African music festival Africa Oye returns this summer and can unveil a globally acclaimed line up headed up by reggae / trip hop star Finley Quaye. Plus: Jupiter & Okwess International (Dr Congo), Wara (Cuba) and Hajamadagascar & The Groovy People (Madagascar)

One of Songlines Magazine’s Top 10 UK Summer Festivals for 2014

'This isn’t just the largest festival of African and Caribbean music in Britain, it's the best'- The Sunday Times
'Perhaps Britain's best free festival'- Clash Magazine

*******************

Rising to fame in the 90’s, Finley Quaye's sound made waves across the globe and he topped the UK charts with hIts like ‘Even After All’ and ‘Sunday Shining’.

His debut album Maverick A Strike was an instant success racking up multi platinum record sales. Finley Quaye (whose relatives include Afrobeat purveyor Femi Kuti and trip hop star Tricky) will play a mix of classic and new material when he brings his warm Sunshine sounds to the stage.

The team at Africa Oye can’t wait until the Scottish-born, Mobo and BRIT award winning legend Finley lands in Sefton Park to headline on Saturday.

Now in its 22nd year, Africa Oye attracted around 30,000 in 2013 to the two-day, family friendly city event, and the team are over the moon with this year’s line up. Jupiter & Okwess International have a unique story; and Jupiter collaborated with Damon Albarn to feature on the album “Kinhasa One Two” in 2011. Jupiter was born into a family of griots from the Mongo region. His grandmother was a renowned healer and she taught him how to play traditional rhythms to heal the sick at a young age. As a teen his family moved to Berlin, where he collaborated with European musicians before returning to the Congo. A documentary about his musical exploration called “The Dance of Jupiter” was released in 2007 and his album Hotel Universe was released last year to critical acclaim.

Also joining the bill are London based Cuban 9-piece band WARA, playing a mix of latin funk, hip hop and rumba. Bending genres with gusto, band members hail from across the globe; from Argentinia to Spain and this unique mix defines them.

Next up on the bill HAJAmadagascar & The Groovy People who create Afro trance, in a project that gathers musicians from across Africa and the Diaspora. Rooted in Malagasy tradition (the spiritual music of Madagascar) the charismatic groups live show delivers immense energy, and is a must-see education for music lovers!

This year Africa Oye will be bigger and better than ever! The family friendly, non camping show features workshops, Oye Active Zone, DJ tent, world cuisine and Oye Traders Market on top of the sterling main stage line up.

*******************

QUOTES:

Headliner `Finley Quaye says:"It's an honour to be headlining Africa Oye in Liverpool; Songwriter City as I often refer to it. It's a privilege for us to be gracing the stage in Sefton Park; a park I often talk about and we are also blessed to be part of such a prestigious event and line up."

Artistic Director, Paul Duhaney says:“There are some stunning artists coming to perform in Liverpool from Africa and all over the diaspora in 2014. We've got more fantastic traders and stalls and of course the best festival audience in the UK.”

Arts Council England says:“The Arts Council aims to achieve great art and culture for everyone and Oyé contributes significantly to this, ensuring that talent and artistic excellence are thriving and celebrated. Oyé supports new and innovative work to ensure it can reach more and more people, both nationally and internationally.”

*******************

Date: Saturday 21st and Sunday 22nd June 2014 / 12:30pm - 9:30pm both days
Location: Sefton Park, Liverpool
Admission: FREE

Africa Oye is funded by Arts Council England & Liverpool City Council

Grupo Niche warmed-up for La Linea

at the Carnaval de Barranquilla this week

The group proved yet again that they really are on a musical high since the release of Tocando El Cielo con Las Manos last year, picking up the famed Supercongo Golden award (pictures here) and playing a huge show for their Barranquillana fans - see clip from this week's show here.
 
We look forward to welcoming them as the closing act at La Linea on May 2 at the Electric Brixton  - and they are looking forward to being here (watch their London trailer).  More information on the show.

Flamenco Festival London1 - 15 Mar
The Flamenco Festival has begun! The sublime Sara Baras opened the 11th annual festival this weekend with her captivating new show La Pepa which will run until Saturday 8 March.

With two weeks to go there is still time to see the best dance Spain has to offer right here in London, from festival favourite and flamenco purist Farruquito to relative newcomer and "flamenco's next king" (The Guardian) Ángel Múñoz. You can't go wrong with the Gala Flamenca, a true celebration of flamenco culture that showcases the full variety of this much-loved art form.

Dance UK explores… butoh dance

Every month in 2014, Dance UK is investigating a different dance style for our e-newsletter, finding out about its technique, style and history. For February, we are exploring butoh dance, a form which originated in Japan after the Second World War.
 
In an interview with Dance UK’s Laura Dodge, choreographer and dancer Alison Grace explains what inspired the creation of butoh, how dancers train and why performers often wear white face and body paint.
