9th December 2016 at Royal Festival Hall (Clore Ballroom), London SE1.

Friday Tonic (free event).

Country: Britain & Cuba & other (British resident). Style: Afro-Cuban, particularly songs to the Orishas.

Lineup: Daniela Rosselson, Mish Aminoff, Anita Chakraborty, Juanita Euka, Leah Barnett, Gavin Durrant, Lilli Elina, Sonia Kounasso, Sandra Morales Cordonez, Anne-Marie Perks, Xenia Savva and one other (v), Collette Boardman (v/chekere/claves/bata), Bill Bland (bata), Jim Le Messurier (bata), and guest: Yosvani Diaz Herrera (bata).

If anyone can identify the other vocalist (on the right in photos #03), I would be grateful.

The London Lucumi Choir was joined by Yosvani Diaz visiting from Havana. As well as their regular Orisha songs the choir included some Salsa and a nod to the time of year ("Feliz Navidad", "Jingle Bells"). This was the second time I have taken photos of them. For those from 2012 see: www.flickr.com/photos/kmlivemusic/sets/72157630310260862/. I have also photographed Euka with Malambo and Wara (www.flickr.com/photos/kmlivemusic/tags/juanitaeuka,-londo...), Bland with Soneando (www.flickr.com/photos/kmlivemusic/tags/billbland,-londonl...), and Le Messurier with Papayera (www.flickr.com/photos/kmlivemusic/tags/jimmylemessurier,-...).
