KINETIKA BLOCO

Kinetika Bloco is a youth music charity with an exuberant mix of young brass and woodwind players, drummers, steel pan and dancers all in costume creating a “unique new British Carnival sound with a decidedly London edge” (BBC Radio 2). We draw our influences from the Caribbean, Brazil, Africa and New Orleans. Our achievements include: performances at Notting Hill Carnival, The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, London Jazz Festival; leading Team GB in the 2012 Olympic Victory Parade; Collaborating with Mercury Prize Winners Ezra Collective at The Brits and Glastonbury; recording our debut album Legacy; performing our own second-line in New Orleans and touring Cape Town. Kinetika Bloco has existed since 2000 and was established as a charity in June 2010. We are a Creative Learning partner at Southbank Centre and an Arts Council National Portfolio Organisation. from https://kinetikabloco.co.uk
