Hosted by BBC Radio 1's Gilles Peterson, who will be spinning his favourite Cuban tracks from past to present, the nine-piece Havana Cultura Band headline this Cuban extravaganza, ripping through a selection of the recently released 'Gilles Peterson presents Havana Cultura' album's biggest tracks with vocals from HC mainstays, Ogguere, the elder statesmen of Cuban rap, and 24 year-old soul sister Danay (who GP refers to as "Cuba's Jill Scott") who are flying in live and direct from La Habana to maximise the Cuban party vibes.

DJ support comes from the capital's Sofrito crew - Hugo Mendez, Frankie Francis and the mysterio, Mighty Crime Minister. Renowned for their Tropical Warehouse parties in London's East End, Sofrito have brought together musicians and artists from Ghana, Nigeria, Cuba, Venezuela and Colombia to celebrate the heaviest sound from across the Tropics. This night should definitely cast you away to shores Caribbean, and with authentic Havana Club Rum on the menu, you'll be there sooner than you know it after a few Ron Collins!
