London life, a dash of tango and a spoon full of sounds

Wave of brass

(download)

After getting warmed up by a great set from Karen P., the main course came to Cargo tonight with Tony Allen, the Hypnotic Brass Ensemble and a swarm of special guests. The afrobeats of the legendary drummer weaved into some seriously cool grooves got the energy flowing. The raw booming brass got the crowd thumping for more. Who doesn't need this kind of music to put a smile back on London's January face?

(Apologies for the quality of the video...)
