Artist Bio
Latin Bridge are a vocal and instrumental Latin ensemble, created by the experienced and brilliant musician Sergio Marciano Pereda, based in London since the beginning of 2016. With a wide repertoire that ranges from old Jazz Standards, classic Bossa Nova, Boleros and the traditional Cuban Son to the most contemporary original music. Always in a “Latin key” and with an acoustic sound. The combination of youth and experience of its members bring an extraordinarily diverse mix very difficult to match. All “The Latin Bridge” performances are one of a kind and of the highest caliber.
A festival of Latin American Music
Latin American music comes to St James’s in this 1 day festival covering music from Cuba, Brazil, Argentina and beyond! The festival starts with a trio of free short sessions during the morning and afternoon and ends with 2 ticketed evening concerts. Highlights include intimate Father and Son performances from Javier Zalba (former member of Buena Vista Social Club, Irakere & Afro Cuban All Stars) and his son Jose Zalba-Smith (Cuban born flautist & pianist). Featuring performances from Latin Bridge, Three to Tango and Tradicional Cubano this is a day of music that you really shouldn’t miss.
