Wara
**Winners of the LUKAS Entertainment Award – Alternative Act of the Year 2012**
Championing a wild fusion of Cuban timba and salsa with soul, funk, Latin rhythms, reggae and drum and bass, WARA have been heralded as one of the most exciting acts in London right now. The band is fronted by Congolese-Argentinean vocalist Juanita Euka (niece of the legendary Congolese musician Franco); with musical director Eliane Correa, who takes the vocal lead on 'Pretty Cliche', on keys and not to forget MC Murmur (Fur) on the rhymes.

"They mash Cuban jazz-funk, clubby beats and smart hooks – lead track 'Flesh And Bone' is a Latin-London blast"
Single of the week - London Metro

"(Wara are) at the cutting edge…the musical pulse"
Lopa Kothari, BBC Radio 3

"They continue a powerful journey into latin funk that has been undertaken by only a handful of bands recently. Its strong and energetic stuff and I'm loving it."
John Warr, Afrobase

Cartas Para Angola
A documentary where various Brazilians with a connection to Angola are asked to send video postcards to people they once knew in Angola or sometimes complete strangers, and the reaction of the Angolans is filmed. Which makes for this really interesting piece about identity, while also revealing a lot about the similarities and differences between people from Brazil, Angola and Portugal.
