Running Time: 1 hour 45 minutes including interval
On the premise that players should sing and singers should play, Chico Chica do just that: playing piano, guitar, flute, percussion, flugelhorn and cavaquinho while taking it in turns to sing the lead vocal.
Led by composer Barbara Snow and lyricist Tom Hannah, this five-piece band takes myriad elements from around the world: samba, salsa, rai, jazz, tango, calypso, hip-hop and cabaret, turn up the heat and then stir fry them in the wok of their collective sub-conscious to form an unforgettable evening of original song and spoken word.
The band are returning to St. James Studio for the launch of the first in a series of 10’’ vinyl albums. Titled ‘The Glow of Havana’, it is a collection of Cuban-inspired compositions.
