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.

Charanga del Norte Gig 10 June at the Wardrobe Leeds

Leeds/UK salsa/Cuban/Latin music pioneer DJ and promoter Lubi Jovanovic celebrates 40 years working in music this year (1982-2022). He’s throwing a few special parties in Leeds to celebrate this landmark including a big live Cuban/salsa/Latin jazz event at The Wardrobe on Friday 10th June. The venue has been the centre of Lubi’s live Latin music shows for over 2 decades now, ever since he brought his legendary ’90s night Casa Latina here in 1999. This gig will also be in the fringe program for inaugural Leeds Jazz Festival which is happening across the city from 1st-12th June.

There are two bands playing. One he has worked with since 1999 (Charanga Del Norte) and one which is a brand new band of musicians studying at Leeds Conservatoire today (Rumberos De Palo). A hot night of Cuban music and rhythms, New York pachanga sounds and smoking Latin jazz. Definitely the live Latin music show of the summer in Leeds.
