” la Timba ” 13th march 2010

Cuban Party night at the Keir Hardie Hall Norwich with Jose, Richard and Sharon.

The night started with Jose’s drumming Workshop this was followed by a night of dancing with music DJ’ed by Richard.

The drumming class with Jose at the start of the evening.

Jose, Alex and Casper performed a show of Bata drumming and a great drumming set.

The night was full of Conga, Salsa, Son, lots of Reggaeton and not forgeting Shakira, Beyonce and the great Santana. The dance floor was never empty and the room looked great. The only complaint was that the night ended at 1am and not at 2am .

All “la Timba” Nights are one off events and can be held anywhere and in any form.

Rumba to Los Van Vans “De la Hanbana a Matanzas”
