about

Kinetika Bloco’s Legacy celebrates the 21st anniversary of the carnival group of the same name founded by Mat Fox; teacher of Brazilian Drumming, Steel Pan groups and Big Bands in South London. Usually around 100 strong, this scaled-down group of Kinetika alumni led byMat's son Ruben Fox revisit some of the Bloco’s iconic pieces on this landmark recording.

What is effectively a Big Band with Tuba (occasionally 2!) in the bass, accompanied by Guitar,Hammond B3 and a 4 piece rhythm section of surdo’s, bells and snare delivers an enthralling new sound.

The 9 tracks fuse influences from Brazil, New Orleans, Africa and the Caribbean, and the deeply impressive list of names from this remarkable community deliver highly intelligent arrangements of this diverse repertoire with power, presence and style.

Kinetika Bloco was founded on the idea that music is the language in which the spirit of community speaks infusing the South London community with joy, awareness and compassion and giving countless young artists an opportunity to collaborate in exuberant, life-affirming music-making.

Legacy is a stunning representation of artists that have at some point taken fruit from the Kinetika Bloco tree and watered its roots. Dedicated to those who came before, and those who are yet to come, Legacy
is released on former participant and current Bloco leader Mark Kavuma's Banger Factory Records label.
