There’s only one way to find out. The Karawane DJs – Mark Thomson & Ali Aitken – are known for their back-to-back 4-deck journey sets through wild dancefloor salsa, afrobeat, cumbia and joyful music from around the world.

Joining them for our Festival Takeover are several artists who will raise the level to a fever pitch and give you an unforgettable experience. Scotland’s own MC Butterscotch will be laying down bars over uptempo Latin and Caribbean beats and the incredible Laruka from Colombia, a celebrated MC, who is grounded in Salsa Choke and the marimba-soaked sounds of the Pacific Coast. Also from Colombia is DJ Metralleta, who will be fusing in the salsa and cumbia from the heart to get the party started. You will also see Metralleta in the crowd, leading impromptu dances and injecting the dancefloor with the purest of energy. From France, we welcome multi-instrumentalist and all-round party-starter, Patrice Komlanz on trumpet and percussion as well as our hugely talented Karawane regulars Carol Scorer, Natalie Wastnidge, Kenny Bongos and Jimmy Djembe.

Expect BIG visuals, UNEXPECTED musical twists, HUGE energy and a WELCOMING atmosphere for ALL. Dress for a carnival, dress to dance or dress however you want. Tonight is all about the music!

 

Join us before the takeover for two early evening events:

The Message in the Music
4.45pm – 5.30pm

A pre-event panel discussion based around music telling a story. Themes may come from the past, but they tell of the future we might all yet share.

Salsa Dance – Taster Session
6.30pm – 7.30pm

If you are completely new to Salsa or have little experience and want to learn some basic steps you can use on the dancefloor, then this is for you. Relaxed, welcoming and fun, it is led by experienced Salsera and DJ Angela Blackburn (Colombia). Anyone is welcome and no partner is needed!
