Da Lata + DJ Patrick Forge at Band on the Wall

Global beat pioneers Da Lata head to Band on the Wall on Friday (29 Nov), for what promises to be a night packed full of Afro-Brazilian beats and dancefloor-enticing rhythms. The London-based band are touring latest album Fabiola – their first in 10 years. This comeback tour is still centred on Afro-Brazilia, but Da Lata’s previous electronica licks have vanished in favour of a more organic sound with added funk excursions. The group were formed in 1994 by Chris Franck and Patrick Forge – the latter being the original DJ from Dingwall’s seminal Sunday jazz sessions plus Kiss FM’s The Cosmic Jam. Forge will be taking the beats to the decks after Da Lata perform.
