To mark a date noted as “the day of freedom for slaves” and as a celebration of Afro-Venezuelan culture Movimientos presents an exclusive performance from the legendary Venezuelan percussionist Williams Cumberbache, making his return to the Notting Hill Arts Club including a special showcase of some classic Afro Venezuelan music.
The night also includes performances from London’s hottest Latin MC crew Sondio Callejero and Brazilian spice from brilliant UK singer Heather McClell.

More information
 
Williams Cumberbache
Caracas-born and London-based percussionist and composer Williams Cumberbache has been one of the key figures in the UK Latin Music scene for many years. His expressive style combines Afro-Caribbean traditions with modern, urban innovations. In his music you can hear a mix of Salsa, Descarga, Jazz, Hip-Hop and Rap, particularly with his own band, TUMBAITO, which he formed in 1994. Tumbaito made its debut with an album Otros Tiempos in 1997. This was regarded by Charlie Gillet, BBC Radio DJ and Broadcaster, as one of the Top 20 albums of the year, earning excellent reviews and radio airplay over Europe.
 
Apart from playing and touring with his own band he has spent the last three years working as a recording artist for the West London music “Massive” with DJ’s and producers Kirk D’Giorgio, Goldie, Phil Asher and Nathan Haines, Mark d´Clive Lowe, Chris Liberator, Frankie Valentine and many others. He has recorded on 30 albums with a variety of artists also holding club nights at prestigious and respected clubs around London like: Notting Hill Arts Club,93 Feet East, Bar Cuba in kensington and others.  During this intense period he was working as one of the key figures on both the Latin and West London scene. This has led to his latest creation “Malandro Sound UK” 2008 featuring the voices of Hugo Chavez, Che Guevara plus others.
 
He has recorded as a guest artist with GRAMMY award winner producers Nick Gold (World Circuit records) and Juan d´ Marcos Gonzales (Sierra Maestra, Afro-Cuban All Stars, Buena Vista Social Club) for Sierra Maestra album  “Dundunbanza” in which he recorded congas and bata drums. He also recorded for the Senegalese star Cheikh Lo album “Bambay Gueej” produced by GRAMMY award winner Yousou N´ Dour with music arrenged by legendary PEE WEE ELLIS (ex music director for the James Brown band) and has played TV shows with famous rock band “The Cure”, Carleen Anderson, Bob Brozman (USA), and recorded percussion for the film BELOVED with music written by OSCAR award winner Rachel Portman  (EMMA, The Joy Luck Club) and which featured music from Mailian singer Oumou Sangare
 
Before Williams moved to London he played lead percussion in Venezuela with highly respected ensambles of Afro-Venezuelan musicians, like his home town band grupo folklorico “AUTOCTONO” de La Vega, where he started at an early age to learn his beloved “African-Venezuelan  music” as he calls it. Apart from Autoctono he also played with grupo “Madera” and “Vasallos del Sol” for whom he did research and field recordings for the Biggott Fundation of traditional Venezuelan music, both groups of of international recognition.

Heather McClell
After causing a stir in Sao Paulo with her rich and distinct voice Heather returns to her home shores in the UK to showcase material from her debut album, recorded in collaboration with some of Brazil’s leading musicians.
 
The album was recorded in collaboration with some of Brazil’s leading musicians including, Pupilo (Nação Zumbi), Simone Soul (Os Mutantes), Serginho Machado (Céu), Alfredo Bello (Otto), and Junio Barreto. The result is a delicate combination of rhythms and musical styles, which include Jazz, Electro-acoustic Folk, and Bossa Nova. The fusion is something that Heather sustains with her London based band, which ranges from leading musicians on the Brazilian scene in London to up and coming British instrumentalists.
 
 
 
Sonido Callejero featuring MC Magico
 
If you don’t know yet it’s about time you heard…SONIDO CALLEJERO “Sounds of the Street” is MC Magico’s latest project for 2008 and as usual he will not disappoint. Bringing and array of colourful sounds to your ears mixing traditional Latin music with the new sounds of Reggaeton and Hip Hop MC Magico together with Cuban MC Floiran and DJ Snatch give you some Hard Core Latin “Sabor” that will have your booty shakin all night long!!!
 
MC Magico
Born and raised in Cali, Colombia MC Magico has been causing a storm on the UK Latin music scene in the last few years. He represents the multicultural diversity of the UK and the new sound of Latin music fusing music from his homeland with the influences of the UK urban music scene as well as other musical styles including Latin Jazz, Salsa, Batchata, Reggaeton, Bashment, Hip-Hop and Ballads, and has worked alongside some of the best musicians in the UK including Alex Wilson.
 
 
¿Puedo Hablar?
Documenting the Venezuelan revolution: Hugo Chavez, His supporters, and his detractors.
 
The team at Sol Productions in Venezuela Inc. spent just under three months in Venezuela filming “¿Puedo Hablar? / May I Speak?”, following both candidates as they raced towards the December 3rd elections.   The film offers its audience a snapshot portrait of a Venezuelan society at a crossroads; a re-elected president, challenged by a reformed and mounting opposition; a valuable starting block for any debate on current Venezuelan politics.   The production team of four journeyed to six different regions of Venezuela, shooting everywhere from the notorious barrios of Caracas to the oil-rich Lake Maracaibo, from a city of five million to an Amazonian pueblo of twenty-three, criss-crossing the country in everything from Chavista motocicletas to dug-out canoes and a private jet.
