Review of Charanga del Norte gig for Big Ideas by the Sea

“When Leeds-based Charanga del Norte begin and invite their audience to dance, there is immediate compliance; a good number of the audience dance, and continue to weave their way around the floor, throughout the evening. As this band plays their way through a number of songs, some familiar and some less so, the vibe is quintessentially playful and filled with the joy of movement and music. Mac the Knife, Maravilloso, and more besides are on the set list; the percussive beats, lilting flute, slinky strings and rhythmic keys that are intrinsic to charanga, blend with ease and dynamism. The band are compelling and characterful, presenting the best of Cuban charanga style. Two hours pass in a heartbeat, as this Little Big Ideas by the Sea event plays to a sizeable and amicable audience of assembled groovers and latin-beat lovers.

Inaugural Professorial Lecture by Professor Sue Miller

Hiding in plain sight, Latin influence is everywhere in jazz and popular music forms today and often goes unacknowledged. In her Inaugural lecture Professor Sue Miller demonstrates how these Latin styles evolved historically and shows, through musical examples, how many aspects of these performance practices are embedded in a variety of vernacular dance music forms past and present.
