Bristol Musicians at the Forefront of UK Latinx Music Scene soundsandcolours.com - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from soundsandcolours.com Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
It’s no secret that music-lovers are magnetised to Bristol, and that the city has welcomed some incredible Latin American musicians over the years.
Long-time residents at Plantation (now Turtle Bay), Aji Pa’ti are this year celebrating a decade of performing together, and Cuban DJ Pilo has revolutionised Bristol’s fitness scene with Piloexercise, a fitness company drawing on Afro-Latin dance and music styles.
Bristol and Latin America’s unique cultural fusion (or ‘bristolatinidad’) is also thriving in the alternative scene: Ecuadorian DJ Catchi brings her unique brand of schneckno – slow, trippy techno – and cheeky house to LGBTQ+ night, Dolce Vita, where she is a resident. She is also created her own Bristol-based club night, Minotaur Sound, for an older clubbing crowd.
