In the run up to A celebration of Cuban music at The Jazz Cafe featuring Diáspora 12-piece band on 4th September, we're running an artist focus on the players joining us for the night. This month, we’re very pleased to welcome Angie Rincon who will be opening the night with Fiesta Latina.

Angelica began vocal studies at age 17 under the guidance of Guillermo Rozenthuler. In 2003 she joined Cocomex, a 6-piece Latin music ensemble where she worked as a backing vocalist and dancer, and eventually became lead vocalist. Alongside this, Angelica developed a strong passion for Latin percussion and to this day includes hand percussion as part of her stage performance.
​
In 2005, Angelica became one third of Son Real Orchestra, the only Latin music band in the UK lead by three female vocalists. In 2007, Son Real Orchestra recorded “London Tropical“ under ARC records. Angelica’s vocals can be appreciated in songs such as “Caleno”, “Mi Refugio“, “Mi Bello Cali“ and “My Cherie Amour“. Whilst in Son Real Orchestra, Angelica shared the stage with big names in the Latin music industry like "Binomio de Oro" and "Diomedes Diaz”, and worked as a backing vocalist for salsa singers such as Grammy award winning singer Lalo Rodríguez.

Angelica has also performed lead vocals for various Latin bands in the UK scene such as Salseology, and collaborated on urban Latin projects with artists like “Baby Latino“ as can be appreciated on “Tumbao” song recorded under and independent label in 2009.

Since then, Angelica Rincon is working as a solo artist with the purpose of bringing a female perspective to salsa music which is lacking in the industry. Angelica released her solo album in summer 2012.

Antes del espectaculo A celebration of Cuban music al The Jazz Cafe con Diáspora (orquesta de 12 personas) el 4 de septiembre, escribimos sobre los musicos que tocan con nosotros.
​
Ahora, estamos emocionados a presentar con Fiesta Latina: Angie Rincon.

​Nacida y criada en Londres, Inglaterra de padres Colombianos, Angelica creció en un mundo lleno de musicalidad y arte. Empezando por su padre el músico Palmireno Orlando Rincon quien le inculco amor y pasión por sus raíces. Angelica comenzó a tocar escenarios como estudiante de baile, desde los 5 años se dedico a estudiar Jazz y danza contemporánea lo que la llevo a estudiar en la prestigiosa escuela de teatro Sylivia Young Theatre School, London. Musicalmente Angelica emprendió estudios de Piano y teoría musical a los once años, y fue alumna de estudios vocales del maestro Argentino Guillermo Rozenthular y en la habana, cuba fue alumna de la profesora Martha Gutierrez de el instituto superior de arte de la Habana.
​
En el año 2003 amadrinada por “la diva del currulao” la maestra María del Carmen Alvarado, Angelica forma parte de Cocomex una agrupación de música tropical Latina, como corista y bailarina. En su segunda etapa como cantante Angelica forma parte de la creación de Son Real Orchestra en el año 2005. Angelica se convierte en una de las tres voces femeninas lideres de Son Real Orchestra. Una agrupación de música latina tropical que intenta realzar la voz feminina dentro de un genero masculino, una agrupación única de este tipo en el Reino Unido. Con Son Real Orchestra Angelica graba un disco bajo el sello ARC music, y graba temas como “Caleno”, “Mi Refugio”, “ Mi Bello Cali”, “Amiga” y en ingles “My Cherie Amour”. Es aquí en Son Real Orchestra que Angelica descubre su pasión por la percusión menor algo que intenta incluir siempre en sus presentaciones

Después, Angelica emprende su carrera como solista con el propósito de brindar y a la vez fortalecer la perspectiva feminina dentro del mundo de la música latina y sobre todo dentro del genero de la salsa. Su álbum era lanzado en el verano del 2012.

A night of music and dancing featuring some of London's finest Latin performers.
Diáspora 12-piece band + Fiesta Latina.
Featuring guest vocalist Ingrid Rueda.

Diáspora is a London-based Latin band bringing you a one-way ticket to the music of the Americas. The 12-piece lineup (3 vocalists, 3 percussionists, 4 brass, piano and bass) lends itself to an expansive 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, their music is uplifting, inspiring and unifying, celebrating the diversity of cultures that arose out of the African Slave Trade, whilst focusing on the Cuban, Brazilian and globalised salsa sounds which have become significant musical languages and forms of solidarity and cultural exchange among communities throughout the world.

Fiesta Latina recreates the sizzling, scorching sounds of Latin America and the Caribbean with an uplifting sound which is inspiring and unifying, mixing salsa with other influences to bring you a fresh, funky and instant Latin house party experience. With its compact 4 piece line-up of vocals, piano, percussion and trumpet, Fiesta Latina distils a vibrant + stylish mix of salsa, funk, soul and samba, from Cuban classics and laid back Brazilian beats right through to the present day.
