Latest update from London Jazz Festival
[ad_1]
70 years on from the HMT Empire Windrush’s arrival in Essex and arguably the beginning of British multiculturalism, British/Trinidadian poet, novelist, and musician Anthony Joseph brings together an array of musicians and artists to celebrate the triumph of the Caribbean spirit with a series of events exploring the cultural history of the Caribbean diaspora in the United Kingdom.
The series culminates in this main concert, which will include the debut of a newly commissioned 'Windrush Suite' by saxophonist/composer Jason Yarde, performed by Anthony and a pan-Caribbean ensemble made up of a who’s who of the British jazz, Caribbean music, and spoken word scenes – with the first names announced being the legendary calypso artists Calypso Rose and Mighty Sparrow and rhythm poet Brother Resistance.

Monakis have been ripping the throat out of the South East music scene alongside acts such as Kid Kapichi and SNAYX for the last few years, and their live shows always growl with visceral hunger.
