Orquesta Estelar is led by the formidable team of Sara McGuinness, Elpidio Alegria, Bill Bland and Jimmy Martinez and rehearse weekly in SOAS (The School of Oriental and African Studies), Russell SquareBand members are a mix of professional, semi-professional and amateur musiciansThe band is a great way to learn about Cuban music performance, and have a lot of fun doing so

ORQUESTA MAMABRITO

¡Oye Salseros! London's salsa sensation Orquesta Mambarito sets the dance floor alight! Burning up red-hot classics from 70s New York, Cali Colombia, Havana Cuba, San Juan Puerto Rico, Panama City and beyond, they should be arrested for arson! Get ready for that infectious Latin Caribbean groove, big fat horns and killer vocals! A gozar!

DJ JOHN ARMSTRONG

An entertainment and copyright litigation lawyer by profession (now retired!), and an across-the-board music lover by passion, John started playing records in and around London in the late 70s, after a Eureka moment at one of the first New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festivals in the mid-70s, from which he returned with interviews from everyone from Allen Toussaint to Betty Carter (many of which were published in the now-defunct Jazz and Blues Review)His first dj residency was at the Belsize Park Town and Country Club (60st and northern), followed by Greek Street's Beat Route club (jump blues and 40s r and b), and the Whisky-A-Gogo (before it became the Wag)

He was probably the first UK selector to present fully-focussed tropical dance music events, with 10-year weekly residencies (1984-1994) at the legendary Bass Clef Jazz Club in Hoxton Square, playing a mix of Afro, zouk, Brazilian beats, Konpas, reggae, dancehall, soul, soca, salsa, afro-cuban, hip hop and jazz – even Punjabi bhangra for a while

Over the last 30 years, he's put together approximately 200 compilations of latin, afro, zouk, Brazilian music, soul, flamenco, Irish traditional music, and even rockabilly, Cajun, zydeco and rock and roll – making him one of the three or four most prolific compilers in the UK
