SUAVE Y SALVAJE // AKOLA TAMBO (LIVE) // CHICO MAJARA (LIVE) // LATIN // PUNK


  • Grow 98c Wallis Road London, England, E9 5LN United Kingdom (map)

A wild night of Latin American music as you have never experienced it. Join us for an evening of dancing bodies where even the live acts decide to merge in a unique creation.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS

Suave Y Salvaje is amongst the first Latin-Punk events in London. Expect to be taken into a dancing journey through tropical landscapes inhabited by an uncompromising punk attitude. From the Caribbean coasts of Colombia to the streets of London.

London-based Akolá Tambó bring the ancestral rhythms of bullerengue, a drum-fueled Afro-Colombian music and dance tradition rooted in community and celebration. Their trance-inducing performances inspire joy and connection, inviting audiences to rediscover their roots through the heartbeat of the drum. The name Akolá Tambó—meaning “remember the drum”—reflects their mission to honour tradition and the transformative power of rhythm.

Chico Majara mix the tropical feel of Latin music with the intensity of punk and land on their feet with feline grace. An act that sets the dance floor on fire with an energy that is elegant and raw, swagger and dagger. Two percussionists lay out irresistible grooves reminiscent of early Latin Boogaloo and Salsa.  The rhythm section sways sensually. Proto-punk guitars and an unpredictable performance bring an exhilarating sense of danger. Chico Majara’s live show is a feel-good, sassy and cathartic experience.

During the event Akolá Tambó and Chico Majara will join forces for a unique number where the traditions of Caribbean Colombia and the savage sounds of punk come together. Be witness to this special moment and join the sweet madness.

DJ Paskal (Rough&Tough) will be spinning an original all-vinyl selection curated for the occasion. Specialising in Caribbean and Latin music Paskal has been promoting two successful tropical nights in London, Cool Breeze and Chicha Por Favor. For Suave y Salvaje he will be bringing some gritty garage sounds and blending them with some of the best of cumbia, salsa and boogaloo.
