SUMMER SOLSTICE PARTY - INTI RAYMI @ Passing Clouds
21st June?
JOIN US at Passing Clouds to celebrate being alive under the same sun. During the Inca Empire, the Inti Raymi ("Festival of the Sun") was a religious ceremony of the Inca Empire in honour of the god Inti, one of the most venerated gods in Inca religion. The Inti Raymi was the most important of four ceremonies celebrated in Cusco. We say let's celebrate life in all its forms, with some of London's best Latin and global musician playing music to keep your feet dancing and your spirit soaring. Expect musical wizardry, face-painting, fancy-dress and indoor sunshine. Joining Movimientos DJS Jader & Arias are guest DJs Rebel Up -?
Lokandes, fronted by whirldwind musical maestro Kanti Qena, take the roots of traditional Andean music and intertwine them with psychedelic rock; some call them the "Peruvian Pink Floyd", no word of a lie, they do have the live spirit of a 60/70s psych/prog rock band. Their new sound reflects contemporary genres such as Reggae, Cumbia, Ska, Jazz, Son, Rumba Folk and Afro-Latin. Lokandes unites musicians and instruments from Peru, Bolivia, Spain, France, China, Chile and the UK, and set their music alongside socially conscious lyrics and a super-tight rhythm section.
