IN MORE DETAIL: Diáspora Collective is an 11-piece Latin band based in Manchester, made up of young gringos dedicated to bringing you the most sizzling sounds from Latin America and the Caribbean. The 11-piece lineup lends itself to a big band sound, without losing the dynamism and spark of a small group; and combines sensuous vocals, sophisticated horn lines and explosive percussion solos. With their vision to unite the rhythms of the Americas, Diáspora Collective is set to be one of the most exciting new projects on the UK Latin scene today.
Reviews:
"The Diáspora Collective are a hugely talented and energetic
band who blew the roof off Matt & Phred's on their first
ever gig at the club. The band of eleven musicians has
a great natural fusion and the ease in which they commanded the stage was
a joy to behold. This is a band we will definitely be booking again and
again." Matt & Phreds Jazz Club, Manchester.
"You have great energy showing through; the arrangements
are clever and innovative, and there are some good musicians." Nina
Jaffa, Salsa Direct.
