Camden native Desta French leads a line-up featuring Allexa Nava and Xativa for a night of essential contemporary Latin music.
Chonga mother Desta French draws from an extensive range of genres including jazz, hip-hop and cumbia. A true trailblazer, she was the first UK Latin artist to be supported on BBC Radio with an all-Spanish language song in 2020.
Desta is joined by virtuosic Peruvian saxophonist and composer, Allexa Nava. A rising force in the London jazz scene, Nava’s work is celebrated for its technical brilliance and its ability to weave her South American heritage into contemporary improvisation.
Also appearing is Xativa, whose haunting blend of folk and jazz is deeply rooted in her Spanish and Ecuadorian heritage. With a voice that commands the room, she brings a unique perspective that has made her one of the most distinctive voices in the capital.
Representing the depth and energy of London’s Latin music scene, these three artists take the stage for an essential night of music in the heart of Camden.
