  Robert Maseko is part of the new wave of Afro world master music creators, researching and re-interpreting. This is African hip-swinging music at its deepest roots.

With touches of reggae flamenco, zouk, salsa and cubano twisting into a new Afro-pop rumba soukous style. Maseko claims that in this all, the common denominator ingredient is the original "Congo Beat", from the heart of Africa.

 
   
  A second set from the Latin project. Expect amazing guitar work, sublime vocals, explosive percussion and Visual DJs projecting ambient moods around the venue!

Winners of the electronica music composition of 2006, they have performed at the Hispanic and Lusophone International Festival, VAMOS! Festival and Headlined the Sage's World Music Festival last year
