Clave Latina Festival aims to highlight and promote the rich cultural, artistic and historical aspects of the Salsa genre looking at its development both in London and New York whilst paying homage to four great artists who were instrumental in the development of the Salsa movement – recently deceased artist Jimmy Sabater from ‘Son Boricua’ fame, Celia Cruz , Edmundo Ros and Hector Lavoe. We have a line up of well-recognised international guests as well as some of London’s top teachers, Latin DJs and Musicians to make this a Festival to remember.
