GRUPO LOKITO (Band on stage around 2pm, playing 2 live sets)
The
glorious melodious vocals of Congolese front men Eugene Makuta and Iddo
Donnatella blends with soaring guitars courtesy of Congolese guitar
hero Mbokalia ‘Burkina Faso’, and the lilting keyboards of Latin piano
player Sara. All of this sits on top of the rhythmic powerhouse team of
Ernesto (drums), Emeris (congas), Elpidio (bass) and Shyam (rhythm
guitar).
Since their formation in 2006 the band have gone from
strength to strength, completing several UK tours and building a solid
following.
In May 2020 Grupo Lokito were awarded an Arts Council
grant to make music during lockdown and the band released three tunes on
digital platforms: Yoka!, ¡Lo Que Pasó! and BolingoYa Londres. Some
more exciting new sounds are cooking in preparation for a vinyl release
later
this year.
Previous releases include “Esengo Ya Ko Bina”
(The Joy of Dancing) capturing the vibrancy and spirit of their stage
show, Latin Beat on Putumayo (Aug 30 2011), Urban Africa on Cavendish
Music (2010) and “The Rough Guide to African Street Party “on the World
Music Network (2008).
