Jazz on Wick returns to East London on 5 September for a celebration spread across multiple venues and stages in Hackney Wick.

From the minds behind Colour Factory, Orii Community and Voices radio, Jazz on Wick is a day-to-night celebration of jazz in all its improvised, soulful and boundary-pushing energy.

Movimientos DJs will join the line-up, opening one of the stages with their dance-fuelled signature parties.

Grime icon D Double E joins forces with Zenel for a jazz-meets-grime crossover set that really sums up what the festival is all about. Drummer Jas Kayser delivers a heartfelt tribute to the legendary Tony Allen, while neo-R&B maverick Shaé Universe makes her Jazz on Wick debut.

Expect some incredible collective takeovers too, from The Silhouettes Project – one of the most vital grassroots crews in UK music – to BBE marking 30 years with their full crew and very special guest Esa Williams, plus an Apron Records DJ takeover headed up by label boss Steven Julien.

More to be announced!

Big summertime Terrace flex on July 16th! ProChile & Colour Factory link up to present The Pisco Disco.

DJ Raff leads the charge – the Chilean sonic storyteller who’s been at it since digging flea markets in Santiago in the ’90s. Low-slung dance music laced with kaleidoscopic rhythms from across the Afro-Latin diaspora. Sonar, Mutek, Lollapalooza and Tate Modern all ticked off. Properly ridiculous.

Joined by AUKA, whose bass-heavy percussive sound draws on South African, Chilean and Welsh heritage in equal measure – Balamii and Foundation FM resident and one of the most exciting selectors on the UK circuit.

Fellow champions of the Latin underground Patricia Doors and Movimientos DJs in support.

Patricia Doors set unfolds as a fiery, off-kilter exploration of Latin club sounds. An accomplished DJ, sound artist and improviser, deeply connected to London’s experimental art scene.

As a not-for-profit, Movimientos has been recognised in the nightlife scene for its community-driven spirit and commitment to showcasing unique artists from around the world. Movimientos’ events often fuse music with social justice themes, giving audiences fresh sounds while exploring identity, activism, and heritage.

On 7 and 8 November, Movimientos brought those 20 years of experience to life at the Jam Jar in Bristol and Hackney Bridge in London. The nights featured a lineup that reflected the music it has supported over the years: Chancha Via Circuito’s mystic cumbia rhythms and electronic grooves, Malphino’s psychedelic Mexican-Colombian dreamscapes, Baque Luar’s Afro-Brazilian harmonies,Panther Panther!’s retro-futuristic digital cumbia, DJ Arias’ global Latin beats, Bushbby’s high-energy Latinx club sounds, and Amancai’s vibrant Afro-Caribbean rhythms — all amplified by the incredible Suena Bien sound system.

 

The events buzzed with warmth and energy, truly celebrating cross-cultural connections through sound in the dancefloor.  Movimientos celebrated 20 years as it does best: bringing people together while championing the freshest Latin American live music and DJs.

 

Son Rompe Pera brings their explosive Cumbia Punk sound back to the UK.

The Gama brothers, born and raised in Naucalpan on the outskirts of Mexico City, grew up playing marimba with their father at local parties before revelling in punk, eventually fusing the two worlds in a way that’s reshaped global stages.

Tradition, family loss, and reinvention shaped their sound into something deeply personal and universally irresistible. With two acclaimed albums under their belt – Batuco and Chimborazo – and a history of electrifying performances on some of the world’s biggest stages, the band now sets its sights on UK audiences.

This December, Son Rompe Pera will tour Bristol (The Jam Jar), London (Oslo), and Liverpool, promising nights of unstoppable, sweat-soaked cumbia like nowhere else.

Since its founding in 2005, Movimientos has been one of the UK’s most active Latin American events organisations. Now, to mark two decades at the heart of the scene, it’s bringing a truly emblematic artist for the sound Movimientos has championed over the years.

Coming soon to The Jam Jar (Bristol) on 7 November and Hackney Bridge (London) on 8 November.

About Chancha via Circuito

A pioneer of the Latin American electronic movement, Pedro Canale, aka Chancha via Circuito, is renowned for blending Brazilian rhythms, Paraguayan harps, Andean mysticism, Argentine folklore, and cumbia into a hypnotic experience.

His iconic remix of José Larralde’s “Quimey Neuquén” was featured in the TV series Breaking Bad.

Celebrated as a cult figure in avant-garde electronic circles, Chancha has appeared at major festivals including Mutek Montreal, Roskilde, Sónar, Calvi on the Rocks, and Vive Latino.

The Carnival of El Callao – World Cultural Heritage

The Carnival of El Callao, inscribed by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2016, is a vibrant celebration that blends Venezuelan, Caribbean, and African traditions. 

Held annually in the mining town of El Callao, this colourful festival features calypso music, elaborate costumes, and joyful street parades. 

Rooted in the history of 19th-century migrants from the Caribbean, the carnival showcases a unique cultural fusion and fosters a strong sense of identity and community pride.

From Venezuela to London

Luzmira Zerpa is a prolific Venezuelan singer-songwriter based in the UK, celebrated for her soulful voice and magnetic stage presence. 

Her music is a rich tapestry of sound, blending the folkloric traditions of Latin America with global influences like Afrobeat, blues, and jazz. With Family Atlantica, she earned critical acclaim and was named Best Newcomer by Songlines Magazine in 2015.

After spending time in El Callao researching its music and traditions, Luzmira brings the Calypso Ambassadors to celebrate Venezuela’s unique calypso sound. With vibrant Venezuelan percussion, the strumming of the iconic cuatro, and the genre’s distinctive lyrical style, the Calypso Ambassadors honours a defiant sound rooted in African and Caribbean influences—now a cultural emblem of El Callao.

Musicians: Monserrat Monsanto, Kenton San Bernard, Thomas Gazzaneo, Wilfred Hurtado, Edulis Lopez, Pablo Barrios, Jaia Yglesias Zerpa.

The Carnival of El Callao has been part of UNESCO’s World Cultural Heritage since 2016. On the night, visuals from El Callao carnival by photographer Ignacio Crespo, Venezuelan sociologist, film producer and photographer. His work is focused on the city’s music scene and street arts. In 2009, he filmed El Callao’s famous carnival — and tonight, that footage will be screened for the first time—and a full-on carnival DJ session will keep you dancing the night away. 

Celebrating a Legend: Isidora Agnes

This Movimientos event poster, designed by Mao Orsini, pays vibrant tribute to the iconic Isidora Agnes — activist, cultural icon, and known as the queen of El Calypso del Callao.

 Isidora lit up various stages across Venezuela, bringing calypso to audiences nationwide.  Beyond the music, she was also a prominent spokesperson for the people of El Callao and continuously fought for their rights. 

This poster honours her powerful legacy — both as an artist and as a voice for her community.

@The Jam Jar BRISTOL

Unit 4a, The Old Malt House, Little Ann St, St Jude’s, Bristol BS2 9EB

 

Movimientos returns to The Jam Jar with a special edition of ‘Cumbia, Mi Amor’– a night bringing the future sounds of Latin America with the finest proponents of the new Cumbia sound. Headlining the night is Bolivian producer Susobrino, making his Bristol live debut with a sonic exploration that blends acoustic textures & electronic beats. Joining him is the mercurial Mexican DJ Ritmos Cholulteka, channelling the spirit of musical resistance with dance rhythms & deep-rooted sound system culture.

Susobrino is a sonic explorer blending acoustic and electronic worlds, deeply immersed in the vibrant pulse of Latin America. Born in Bolivia, based in Brussels, he’s a self-taught multi-instrumentalist and percussionist. His journey is one of relentless curiosity that moves effortlessly between tranquillity and intensity. In 2023, a transformative tour through Argentina, Ecuador, Colombia, and Mexico deepened his connection to Latin culture, infusing his sound with lived experiences. The name Susobrino—meaning “nephew” in Spanish—reflects his role as a musical heir to Latin America’s rich traditions. Through intricate rhythms and immersive compositions, he crafts a sound that transcends borders, a bridge between heritage and innovation.

Ritmos Cholulteka is the musical journey of Bruno Zayas, blending his roots from the ancient town of Cholula, Mexico, with global beats and powerful rhythms. His DJ sets pulse with cumbia at the core, layered with electronic, Balkan, and African influences—all amplified by pre-Hispanic instruments and immersive native visuals. With a mission to make the world dance to the rhythm of interculturality, he amplifies his beats with interactive elements, adding the distinctive flair of sonidero culture. Cholulteka has shared stages with artists like Manu Chao, Chancha Via Circuito, Fanfarra Ciocarlia, and many more.
