Players and students of the rich universe of Colombian music, La Sonora Boreal is an international dance orchestra bringing the Latin rhythms of cumbia, porro, vallenato and other música tropica born between the Caribbean and Pacific coasts to the fiestas of the North East of England. ¡Wepa!
Join the band and friends as they celebrate the release of their first recording, the New Year's Eve clásico, "El Año Viejo."
Written by Crescencio Salcedo, and made famous by Tony Camargo, "El Año Viejo" looks back and celebrates the end of one year as we pass into another. La Sonora Boreal's rendition captures the spirit, heart and humour of the song, and will keep you dancing through the new year. Available to download from 21 November via Bandcamp, meaning your purchase supports the activities of the hard-working band and not the evil-doings of big corporations.
Along with the band's performance, DJ Adzmandala (Rainforest Disco) will be spinning rare records from his treasure-trove collection — expect wild, warm tropical music picked up during his far-flung travels around the world.
