Tropicalista NYE 2015 at Rich Mix | 31st December
Headlining this year is the mighty Brighton based Son Pikkante whose unique blend of Cumbia, Salsa and Afro-Latin roots dance music always destroys the dance-floor.
Hosts Cal Jader and Russ Jones will be on the decks alongside guests spinning vintage to future latino & tropical beats for a jump up soundtrack. And whirlwind Peruvian musical virtuoso Kantikena has assembled a crack team of players for a set of cumbia and latin classics to herald the midnight hour. To top all of that Rich Mix will look like you have never seen it before transformed into a paradise of illumination, moving image, costume, exotic decoration, as well as the Abelha Cachaça Brazilian cocktail shack. This event is always a sell out so book your tickets early to avoid disappointment and prepare to get truly hot and sweaty for a new year’s eve shakedown, carnivalistic fiesta celebration into 2015.
